BREAKING NEWS

Race Chief Mr Dylan has opened the event right up:

*Weather is playing ball and the front-running teams are keen to battle it out using a more strategic approach so we are scrapping the last two checkpoints and giving teams the freedom to set their course to reach the finish as fast as they can within sailing hours.*

It's going to be an exciting couple of days.

Clever chap

Race Chief Dylan has a multitude of talents. Fishing with his teeth being one of his more particularly impressive party tricks.
