Clipper Ventures would never try to circumvent circumnavigation. The seaworthy Clipper Ventures organizes around-the-world yacht races. Its Clipper Round the World Yacht Race is staged in alternate years. Its 5 Oceans solo grand prix (cosponsored by window-manufacturing firm Velux and formerly known as the Around Alone race) is run every four years. Clipper Ventures owns the National Zapcat Championships, which is a race run by smaller powerboats. The company also charters its fleet for corporate events or private use. Chairman Robin Knox-Johnston started the firm in 1995.
