ON THE WATERFRONT JCM Yacht Race

If you happened to be in Liberty State Park on June 11, you might have seen a yacht or two taking part in the Clipper 11-12 Round the World Race, which started in July, 2015, in Southampton, England. Ten 60-foot yachts participated. The stop at Liberty Landing marina was the final port in the seventh leg of the race, which ran from San Francisco to the Panama Canal and into New York Bay. One skipper reportedly said that Jersey City and New York City were his favorite ports.—JCM
