Thermopylae Clipper was designed for the Clipper Round the World Race and has been around the world four times in total. She is named after the famous tea clipper launched in 1868, which was one of the fastest ships in the China tea trade. In 1872, the original Thermopylae raced the Cutty Sark from Shanghai back to London. Thermopylae Clipper became the third yacht in Discovery Sailing Project's fleet in 2007, and she now takes young people on sail training voyages and competes annually in the Tall Ships races.
