    Hello all
    I'm a new kid on the block and was wondering if you had some good tips for me .
    I have been working the last couple of summers in Maryland teaching basic sailing and fixing the camp boats.
    I have always wanted to learn blue water sailing and sail around the world, so I applied to "Clipper-ventures" for the 2005-06 round the world yacht race.
    They have accepted my application now all I need is to raise 30,000 pounds to pay for it. I am working 6 days a week in Holland and will get a 2nd mortgage on my house in New Zealand but not sure if this will cover it all.

    So my Questions are have you heard anything of Clipper-ventures, what I have found seems very good 2005 they will have a new fleet of 68 footers.
    Any tips on how I may be able to get sponsorship to assist with the costs.

    Happy Sailing
