On the day of the start of the race again, a joyful and lively farewell ceremony was held at the Zhuhai Jiuzhou Port Ferry Terminal. Zhuhai municipal leaders, representatives of various members of the organizing committee, members of Huafa and Jiuzhou organizing committee, supporters of the race, and hundreds of local residents came to the scene to bid farewell to the Clipper fleet.
又是起航开赛日，欢快热闹的欢送仪式在珠海九洲港码头超燃上演，珠海市政领导、组委会各单位成员代表、华发、九洲组委会成员、赛事支持者以及广大新增的赛事粉丝们，还有数百名当地民众前来现场欢送克利伯船队出发。
The sky is beautiful and the sun is shining brightly. After experiencing the traditional farewell ceremony on the shore stage, the crew of each racing team boarded the ship and departed from the port. They also performed a pre race cruise performance against the magnificent background of the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge in the waters outside the port. Subsequently, the Clipper fleet sailed towards the Le Mans style opening waters.
天公作美、艳阳高照，经历了岸边舞台上的传统欢送仪式后，各个赛队船员登船离港出发，并且在港外海域港珠澳大桥的壮丽背景映衬下进行了赛前巡航表演。随后，克利伯船队驶向勒芒式开赛海域。
The distance of the "Sailing City Qingdao Cup" race in Schedule 9 is 1345 nautical miles. Most of the time, it encounters headwinds and ocean currents, which have a significant impact. It is also necessary to carefully navigate between fishing boats and nets. As the fleet gradually moves northward and approaches Qingdao, the crew will experience a sudden drop in temperature. This competition is expected to take about nine days, and the expected arrival window for the fleet in Qingdao is from March 21st to 22nd. The Clipper fleet will dock at the Qingdao Olympic Sailing Center Pier. (Source: Sailing Capital Qingdao)
