珠海大使船员招募启动，助力环球帆船赛城市宣传

The Chinese city of Zhuhai has today announced an Ambassador Crew programme which will enable local people to take part in the Clipper 2019-20 Round the World Yacht Race.

中国珠海今日正式宣布大使船员招募启动，通过该招募活动入选的当地选手将代表珠海市参加克利伯2019-20环球帆船赛。

Residents from the Guangdong province specifically along with people from the wider area are being invited to apply to be ocean racing sailors in the Clipper 2019-20 Race. Organisers expect that at least 50 percent of the successful candidates will be local to Zhuhai, also known as ‘The City of Islands’.

赛事组委会诚邀当地民众以及广东省，甚至周边更广范围内的帆船爱好者积极报名申请参与到克利伯2019-20帆船赛珠海大使船员的选拔之中。赛事组委会期望在成功入选的大使船员配比中，能够至少半数以上来自素有‘百岛之城、千帆之都’美誉的珠海市。

And with no previous sailing experience needed, the Ambassador programme is open to anyone over the age of eighteen with a good level of English, excellent teamwork skills and most importantly a thirst for adventure. Ambassadors will also be selected on their passion and enthusiasm for representing the city of Zhuhai as the Clipper Race sails around the world.  

参加竞选的人们不必有先前的航海经历，只要是年满十八周岁，具有一定的英语语言沟通能力，良好的团队协作精神和技能，最重要的是要拥有一颗勇于冒险的心，都可以前来申请竞选。参与大使船员竞选的人员需要积极向上、充满热情，愿意代表珠海市进行积极的宣传和推广，克利伯帆船赛的比赛线路是环绕全球。

This follows the news from earlier this year that Zhuhai and Jiuzhou Holdings signed a three edition deal to be a Host Port and Team Partner for the 2019-20, 2021-22 and 2023-24 editions of the global event. The city of Zhuhai is located close to Hong Kong, Guangdong and Macao and has the largest coastal area in China, many beautiful islands and excellent conditions for sailing. Zhuhai is also one of the home cities of the recently opened world’s longest sea-crossing bridge. The bridge connects Hong Kong to Macau and the Chinese mainland in Zhuhai.

今年早些时间，珠海市珠海九洲控股集团与克利伯帆船赛签订了从2019-20， 2021-22和2023-24三个赛季的主办港合作伙伴和赛队合作伙伴合约，此次大使船员招募的启动是双方合作的又一重大举措。珠海市紧邻香港、广州和澳门，是中国地区内海岸线最长的沿海城市，拥有数量众多的卫星岛屿和绝佳的帆船运动环境。近日，世界上距离最长的跨海大桥-珠港澳大桥的贯通使用也使得珠海得到了媒体大众广泛关注，珠港澳大桥的贯通实现了香港、澳门和中国大陆之间的道路连同。

Known as one of the toughest endurance challenges on the planet, the 40,000 nautical mile Clipper Race is unique in that non professionals take part. Competitors include teachers, students, doctors, firefighters and retirees.  The Clipper Race is the only event of its kind which trains everyday people to make six ocean crossings, covering six continents, testing them to their absolute limit. Fewer people have sailed around the world than climbed Mount Everest, and with 40 percent of crew having no previous sailing experience before signing up - the achievement is all the more incredible.

克利伯环球帆船赛独具特色，被认为是世界上最具耐力考验的极限挑战赛事之一，是全球范围内唯一针对非职业选手公开参与的远洋航海赛事。参赛选手来自各个行业，包含有教师、学生、医生、消防员以及退休职工等等。克利伯帆船赛是该类型赛事中的唯一，主要目标就是将普通大众培养成为远洋航海选手，让他们能够参加这样一场横跨六大洋、行至六大洲极限挑战赛事。据统计，完成环球航海的人数要比登顶珠穆朗玛峰的人数还要少，百分之40的参赛选手在报名参赛之前是没有过任何航海经历的-普通人生，成就非凡。

The Clipper 2019-20 Race, which will begin next summer, will see the world’s largest matched fleet of 70-foot ocean racing yachts race around the world, visiting 13 ports on its global route, including Zhuhai.

克利伯2019-20帆船赛将于明年夏季起航开赛，由十几艘克利伯70组成的世界上规模最大的统一船型比赛船队将环游全世界，到访13个停靠港，其中一站就是中国珠海。

On the Zhuhai Ambassador Crew programme, Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, Chairman of the Clipper Race and the first man to sail solo, non-stop around the world says: “Competing in the Clipper Race is a unique challenge and successful candidates will experience something most people never will. Through this Ambassador programme we look forward to training the representatives of Zhuhai and seeing their transformation into ocean racing sailors.”

针对珠海市大使船员招募启动这一好消息，单人不间断环球航海航行世界第一人、克利伯帆船赛主席罗宾.诺克斯-约翰斯顿爵士致辞说到：“能够参与到克利伯帆船赛之中本身就是一次挑战，成功入选的大使船员将会有幸经历一场大多数人都没有机会经历的赛事。通过这样一项大使船员项目，我们期待着将珠海推选的这些代表船员培训转型成为真正的远洋航海选手。”

Mr. Li Hongbin, Vice General Manager of Zhuhai Jiuzhou Holdings said at the launch of the Ambassador programme: “We invite passionate adventurers, who are team players, to represent and promote the city of Zhuhai through the Clipper Race. We sincerely welcome friends who love sailing to join us and compete together in this year-long voyage.
