Brand And Live Experience Company ICON Teams Up With Clipper Race

Final preparations for the first leg of The Clipper 2015-16 Round the World Yacht Race are underway. The 12 Clipper 70 yachts are all currently berthed at St. Katharine Docks in London looking resplendent in their individual liveries having been wrapped by specialist in brand and live experience ICON.  Each boat also sports custom-made boom covers provided by ICON as well as 21 metre forestay flags and deck branding. 

As Official Branding Partner of The Clipper 2015-16 Round the World Race ICON has branded the entire fleet of Clipper 70 yachts and will be delivering the on-shore branding at each of the 14 stopover ports including the finish back in London in summer 2016.  

ICON has used 1128 metres of specialist marine grade vinyl to wrap the entire fleet and the operation of completing the transformation of blank hulls into twelve eye-catching yachts has taken 684 man hours to complete. 

Alastair Bewick, CEO of ICON, says: ‘As a global company, this has been a great project for us.  As the 12 teams race their way around the world the ICON teams around the globe will be just ahead creating and delivering an exceptional welcome for the crews in the finishing area at every stage”
