Preparations underway for Channel Race.
After Puma, Jags and Lion were out yesterday on a corporate day, it is all change today as the corporate sails are taken off along with corporate kit and replaced with the racing sails and the refined, weight saving necessities in preparation of this weekend's Channel Race!
At the moment, the weather looks set to be typical of this summer... 15-20 knots of Westerly then dropping right off overnight and picking back up on Sunday, with, no doubt, plenty of rain!!!
The Channel Race starts off Cowes on the Squadron start line, as usual, then takes us out into the Channel and is effectively a giant 'round the cans' race!! The course should take between 24 and 36 hours to complete and will be set by the RORC commitee tomorrow afternoon... all will be revealed at four o'clock tomorrow!
The race begins Saturday morning and know doubt Shamrock Quay will become a hive of activity of grey jackets tomorrow afternoon.
Good luck to all the teams, have a great race!!!
