As the last of the revellers return home at 5am on January 1st 2008, spare a thought (and raise a glass of Benromach!) for the crew of the Glasgow: Scotland
with style Clipper as the next stage of the Clipper 07-08 Round the World Yacht Race gets underway from Fremantle, Western Australia at 2pm local time.
Benromach Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a Race Partner of the Glasgow: Scotland with style Clipper in the Clipper 07-08 Round the World Yacht Race.
The 2450 mile race from Fremantle to Singapore is the 5th of the 14 stages that make up the 35,000 mile Clipper 07-08 Round the World Yacht Race. Skipper, Hannah Jenner will be aiming to continue and build on the impressive start made by the Scottish crew, which sees the Glasgow yacht lying 2nd overall after the first 4 stages.
David Urquhart, Joint Managing Director at Gordon & MacPhail, proprietors of Benromach Distillery says, “I’m sure the Glasgow: Scotland with style crew has enjoyed the best of Australian hospitality over the last few days! The heads will be clear and I’m sure Hannah and the crew remain committed and determined to drive towards a podium finish in the next race to Singapore. We wish them all the very best and we will be thinking of them as the bells chime at midnight tonight.”
