Sea Pup Sophie is already on the second leg of her Clipper Round the World Yacht Race, the 4,800 mile run across the Atlantic from Brest to Rio de Janeiro that will take most four weeks.

The first leg was eventful, with some valuable lessons learnt.  Mission Performance finished Race One in 3^rd place, but an infringement of the rules resulted in a time penalty, placing them 12th on the current Leader Board.

Mission Performance is currently running 5^th with some 4,000 miles to go in strong winds and challenging conditions.
