30 September 2002







Clipper Ventures plc, the AIM listed marine events company chaired by Sir Robin
Knox-Johnston, today announces a partnership with The Asian Wall Street Journal.



The Asian Wall Street Journal will act as an 'Official Media Partner' for the
Clipper 2002 Round the World Yacht Race, which sets sail from Liverpool on
October 27.



The partnership is a reciprocal marketing deal which will guarantee Clipper
exposure in return for access to on-board promotion and selected hospitality
events.



Sir Robin said: "This is an exciting marketing deal which combines perfectly
with our business vision to build the brand of the race as a global sporting
property."



The newspaper's name and logo will appear on the Hong Kong Clipper. When
competing in waters around Asia, it will fly the flag of The Asian Wall Street
Journal. While sailing in Europe or the US, the Clipper will fly the flag of The
Wall Street Journal Europe or The Wall Street Journal respectively.



EDITOR'S NOTES



Clipper Ventures runs two circumnavigation races. The Clipper 2002 Race is the
world's longest round the world yacht race, with 8 identical 60-foot racing
yachts, each sponsored by an international city and competing over 11 months and
some 35,000 miles of ocean. The boats are skippered by professional sailors and
crewed by amateurs who pay berth fees. Clipper 2002 will leave Liverpool on 27
October 2002 from Albert Dock.



The second race in the Clipper Ventures stable is the Around Alone, a solo grand
prix challenge for the world's leading sailors. Competitors for Around Alone
2002-03 set sail from New York on 15 September, as part of the 'Sail for
America' commemorative event.
