As Derry-Londonderry-Doire and skippered by Sean McCarter, the re-badged UNICEF was the best placed of the Clipper 70 fleet in the 2013 Rolex Sydney Hobart, finishing 54th overall, seventh in Division 1 and winning the Clipper division. Now in the hands of skipper, Jim Prendegast, UNICEF’s crew has big shoes to fill. Unicef has joined forces with the Clipper Race to help make a safer world for children. It is the world’s leading children’s organisation, ensuring more children are fed, vaccinated, educated and protected than any other organisation. Unicef has also done more to influence laws, policies and customs to help protect children than anyone else in history. In addition to being the Official Race Charity, Unicef is also a debut team entry.
