Speaking after the first Summer Party in 2013, Clipper Race founder and legendary sailor Sir Robin Knox-Johnston said: “It was a great opportunity to meet with the sports business community against the backdrop of the Clipper Race fleet in St Katharine Docks by Tower Bridge in London. I think it made the perfect setting for the inaugural event and was good to share our success story with the sports industry.”
