Close tough racing in first full week of Seattle Pacific Challenge:
The first full week of the Seattle Pacific Challenge has seen a huge range of difficult conditions in the latest stage of the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race. Right from the start just over a week ago the fleet has engaged in close match racing in a hard fought battle from China, past South Korea and Japan, before heading out into the remote North Pacific. A combination of strong currents, pushing the amateur crew against storm force winds towards Seattle, on the US West Coast, churned up steep waves which battered the sturdy 70-foot ocean racing yachts.
