Race update 3: Thursday 25 Sept am

Disappointingly the wind remains extremely light amongst the fleet today and accordingly the race committee have discussed options and decided that the fleet should continue to motor another 75 miles towards Funchal, with the intention of starting the race at midday GMT tomorrow, Friday 26 September.

Pogoria (Poland) should be leaving Ilhavo this morning and making best speed to catch up with the rest of the fleet.
