On behalf of Qingdao Government, Sailing Committee (Qingdao) of Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad and more than 8 million Qingdao citizens, I would like to express my warm congratulations and sincere appreciation to the Skipper Danny Watson and all crew members. Photo by: Colin de Mowbray & Ingrid Abery During the 10-month-long circumnavigation, you all raced on board Qingdao Clipper across the oceans very hard, challenging each difficulty and, when necessary, helping each other. Your participation into the Clipper race has truly connected Qingdao with the major international sailing events. As the emissaries of Qingdao, you have made a great contribution in promoting Qingdao - the sailing city and the Olympic sailing regatta - on the world stage. Qingdao people will remember what you have achieved for the city of Qingdao. I sincerely hope that you could continue to pay close attention to our city and come and visit with your families and watch the 2008 Olympic Sailing Regatta. Best regards to you all and your families Yours sincerely, Xia Geng Mayor of Qingdao Copyright © 1996-2016 - SEGEL.DE
