Tue 01 Jan 2010Damaged clipper cannot be saved
IT HAS been confirmed that the Cork clipper that hit a reef in the Java Sea off Indonesia last week cannot be salvaged and will be lost to the sea.
The disappointed crew in the Clipper 09-10 Round the World Yacht Race have arrived at Nongsa Point marina, Batam, Indonesia. The next few days will allow them to rest and begin to come to terms with their experience.
