At the weekend the 12 boats taking part in the Clipper Race returned to London, passing the reserve, after a 11 month trek!

The 12 boats and hundreds of crew, passed the reserve on  their way into central London at the weekend after passing through six continents for the presentation of the trophy to the winning team.

 

  Sorry for the bad pictures - they're taken with my phone through the window! :)

 

The teams have been travelling a whopping 40,000-mile (64,000km) over the last 11 months taking part in the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race.

Sir Robin Knox-Johnston founded the race - being the first person to sail solo non-stop around the world in 1968-69.

 

Pretty cool I thought!  

We saw the boats leave last September (check it out here)  as they started their epic journey!
