Clipper Ventures, a privately owned company based in the UK, was founded in 1995 and operates with approximately 90 employees, reporting $33.8M in revenue as of 2023. As a tier 2 media tech buyer, the company specializes in organizing the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race, a global sailing event founded by Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, the first person to sail solo non-stop around the world. The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race involves a series of races spanning various legs and typically takes almost a year to complete.
Sir Robin Knox-Johnston expressed a personal ambition on April 22, 2026, to bring the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race to Belfast in 2028. This follows Northern Ireland native Oli Irvine, Skipper of GOSH, currently leading the global standings in the ongoing race. Earlier, on January 14, 2026, the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race announced details of its fourth-generation fleet, named CLIPPER RX. The new fleet consists of twelve 72-foot ocean racing yachts currently under construction at a shipyard in Qingdao, with Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, Chairman of the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race, calling it a "completely new and innovative design." Previously, on December 19, 2025, Gyeongsangnam-do commenced full-scale promotional activities for successfully hosting the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race in Tongyeong the following March.
