KEY FEATURES:
FIRST OCEAN CROSSING, EQUATOR CROSSING YCPE Cup takes the Clipper Race fleet 5,300nm from Puerto Sherry, Spain to Punta del Este, Uruguay, where crews can expect a warm fiesta welcome after navigating a diverse racecourse. Conditions range from Atlantic trade winds and heavy spinnaker runs, to tricky wind shadows around the Canary and Cape Verde Islands, and the unpredictable Doldrums. Teams will cross the Equator, honouring seafaring traditions with King Neptune, before battling tough upwind conditions, reaching down the South American coast, and potentially facing fierce Pamperos squalls, before finishing in Punta del Este. | | Meeting crew members before race start in Portsmouth, a quick tour aboard Team Washington, DC with skipper Ella Hebron, wishing brand advocate and personal friend Martin Cavey a 'Bon Voyage!' and lastly presenting the Official Race Timepiece to Skippers and First Mates of the Clipper 2025-26 Race. | | To mark the partnership, NITE have created a bespoke ALPHA Z model with customisation to the bezel, dial, hands, crown, strap, buckle and case back, offering a bold and unique timepiece that meets the demands of ocean racing and to celebrate this incredible challenge. | | NITE Watches Unit 14 Silver Business Park,
