It ____ over 20 years ago and is the world’s longest and hardest sailing challenge. How did it ____? In 1969, the Englishman Sir Robin Knox-Johnston ____ the first person to sail solo, non-stop round the world. It took him over 10 months. In the years after this amazing achievement, Sir Robin ____ more people to learn to sail, so he started the famous Clipper Round the World Yacht Race. The first race was in 1996, with eight 60-foot yachts. On 16 October, they all ____ Plymouth, England and began their long journey across the oceans. The route included the Galapagos, Hawaii and the Azores. The winning yacht, called Arial, finally arrived back in Plymouth nearly one year later, on 14 September 1997. The crew members ____ completely exhausted. ‘We rarely ____ properly,’ said crew member, Elizabeth Bluck. ’It was very cold, very wet, and very exciting.’ The interest in extreme sports and adventure challenges continues to grow. It’s expensive to take part in the Clipper Race, but it’s very popular. This is because all kinds of people ____ a new and special challenge in their lives. Last year nearly 20,000 people ____ to do it. Bob Baker, a lorry driver who did it a few years ago, said, ‘I always ____ that yachting was a rich man’s sport, but it’s not at all’.
