LMAX Exchange wins Race 12 – the LegenDerry Finale

Clipper round the world, LMAX Exchange teamLondon, 7 July 2016 -Team LMAX Exchange has claimed its sixth victory of the Clipper 2015-16 Round the World Yacht Race by winning Race 12, the LegenDerry Finale.

After a tense battle with Derry-Londonderry-Doire, which saw both teams neck and neck for the last few days, LMAX Exchange established a 5NM lead in the closing stages to cross the finish line at the mouth of Lough Foyle, just off Greencastle, County Donegal at 1043 BST on the 6 July 2016.

LMAX Exchange Skipper Olivier Cardin said: “It was the last ocean crossing of the Clipper 2015-16 Race but it was actually rounding Rockall which made the game open by beating the wind and dealing with strong tide on the last part.

“The last 24 hours were decisive. We managed to take the lead last night in light winds and keep it rounding Rathlin Island. Crossing the finish line first was our goal. All the team was focused on that. It’s a great result for LMAX Exchange!”

David Mercer, CEO of LMAX Exchange commented: “As a proud Ulsterman I’d like to join the city of Derry in welcoming all these inspiring sailors to our beautiful country.

Obviously I couldn’t be more proud that we won such an exciting race with the host city. Derry were at the top of their game as proven with a resounding victory in the Ocean Sprint. Congratulations to them and all the teams on creating a fitting race to a fantastic port in the best country in the world. No bias there!”

Currently, Team LMAX Exchange leads the overall race standings following an impressive nine podium finishes, including six 1st place victories out of the twelve races so far. Since Race Start in London last August, the teams have raced to Rio de Janeiro, Cape Town, Sydney, Hobart, the Whitsundays, Da Nang – Vietnam, Qingdao- China, Seattle, Panama and New York.

Race 12 saw the Clipper Race fleet head back across the Atlantic Ocean from New York to Derry-Londonderry, Northern Ireland. After a few days of rest the fleet will then race to Holland before the embarking on the final stage to London’s St Katharine Docks, with a triumphant Thames River parade set to take place on Saturday 30 July 2016.
