A boat named after the Chinese sailing city of Qingdao has been awarded the trophy for winning one of the world's most gruelling sailing competitions the round-the-world Clipper Race.
Qingdao claimed the victory after sailing more than 40,000 nautical miles, doing six ocean crossings and completing eight legs of the race, which started in 2019 but had to pause for two years because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The crew received the trophy at a ceremony in London's Albert Dock on Saturday.
