Clipper Race Makes Way Through Panama

Today, the Clipper Race - a sailboat race around the world that has been around since 1996 – made its way through Panama, beginning Race #10 of the journey.

The race was shortened in its leg from Santa Cruz to Panama, due to displacement while the Canal is undergoing its makeover. Click here for video of the boats entering the canal. Click here for video of the boats exiting. The video features the Gatun and Miraflores locks. The locks allow for the boats to be 26 meters above sea level as they are sailing around the world.

From Colon, Panama, the race will continue to Port Antonio, Jamaica.
