Port Antonio, Jamaica Clipper 13-14 Round the World Yacht Race
The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race fleet will arrive in Port Antonio’s Errol Flynn Marina in Jamaica from tomorrow afternoon, Saturday 17 May, as Race 12: The Spirit of Jamaica Chase enters the final 200 miles of its tightly fought dash.
