...has to be Le Transat Bakerly
which starts from Plymouth on BH Monday 2 May at 1430.
This is the top end of modern single handed ocean racing, and has a spectrum of spectacular boats - including Sodebo, Macif, Banque Populaire.... and a big handful of Tabarly's 'Pen Duick' successors. Watching is not to be missed. There are links 'on site'....
Here are a few pics:

It's a pity that the retrogressive TimesMedia bunch still prevent embedding a pic-within-a-link, which would more tidily have taken interested viewers where they would wish to be.... it's the 'Trump' mentality!
Yrs trly blagged a job 'scruteing' these monsters, 'cos 'there's no known cure for the disease'' and will be down in Plymouth for the weekend's parties and the start.
Don't miss following the action via the above 'link'. And don't forget 'The Jesters Challenge' starts a couple of weeks later, on the 15th May.... A very English 'corinthian' event.
