Does anyone know where the Clippers will start the last leg of their race on Sunday? I've found this:
"21st July, Bid farewell to the Clipper Race!
10.30am - Crew Parade: Watch as the Clipper Race crew are piped down from Station Square to the North Pier for the Race Start preparations.
12pm to 12.30pm - Slipping the Line: Come and cheer on the 11 teams as they slip lines and commence preparations for the Parade of Sail from 12:00 pm to 12.30pm.
1pm, Parade of Sail - From Kerrera Marina across Oban Bay past Dunollie Lighthouse out to Dunstaffnage.
3pm Clipper Race Start: From Dunstaffnage"

Will there be a start line outside Dunstaffnage? Which way are they heading - clockwise or anticlockwise - or is that not specified?

I'm trying to arrange on-the-water viewing for some friends and want to get a reasonable location.

Firth of Lorn lassies! Should have made them sail south via the sound of Jura through the Cuan Sound and Dorus More. :wink:

Southerlies until early Tuesday morning. Should be a good sight seeing the yachts all leave.
