The Clipper Race team has been working on contingency plans should the fleet not be able to stop in China due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The Crew Changeover date for Leg 6 joiners will now be 6 March. The changeover will take place in either Zhuhai as planned or a port outside of China, should the need arise. This alternative location will be confirmed in due course.

The arrival window into Seattle remains the same as the original schedule and Leg 7 and Leg 8 timings remain unaffected.

Further updates will be posted when more information becomes available.
