The Clipper 2015-16 Homecoming arrived in Derry, transforming the city into an international marina to welcome all 12 yachts.
This stopover was particularly electric because the local entry yacht, Derry~Londonderry~Doire, arrived riding high on a historic "hat-trick" of consecutive race victories across the Pacific.
