The Clipper 07-08 Round the World Yacht Race enjoyed a 4-day stopover in Manhattan's North Cove prior to making their final trip across the Atlantic Ocean. The ten-strong fleet of 68-foot Dubois 68s sailed into the Cove on June 1. The yachts departed June 4 for Nova Scotia, Canada, where the Nova Scotia led the fleet into Cable Wharf at Halifax Waterfront on June 8. It was the final stop before the race back to Liverpool, England.

Other cities with yachts include Durban (South Africa), Fremantle (Australia), Nova Scotia (Canada), Liverpool and Yorkshire (England), Glasgow (Scotland), Port Antonio (Jamaica), Qingdao (China), and Singapore.
