We applied a few minor corrections and removed typos in the Notice of Race.
Also added the declarations every skipper need to sign, as well as the ISAF equipment checklist. We are expecting the Sailing Instructions to be published next week. Check it out at the RACEDOCS

Safety inspection |
As written in the Notice of Race, Safety Checks will be held prior to the start. Inspectors will visit you the day before the start (12th June) and will check equipment and papers.
Though it's a bit early in your planning perhaps, you could request an earlier safety check the week before the start. Just e-mail us..
ISAF has issued a handy check list, which might help with your preparations. Download it from RACEDOCS.

Did you have your P R S today..? |
WARNING: A good race might cause 'PRS'.
A Post Race Syndrome is not dangerous and disappears sooner than you might expect. A few remedies help to get over it even sooner. One of them is reading latest HOTSOCKS weblog entry: The final leg...
Oh, by the way, to get a real insight into short handed offshore sailing, this "Top 10 things you do offshore that you would never do at home..." might be useful and comes to you from 'The World of HOTSOCKS'. Thank you, Katie and Mat, for your blogging during this race.

Pendragon's dramatic Leg 3 |
Last night yacht PENDRAGON lost her mast approximately halfway Leg 3. She and her crew are a bit shattered, but safe. Georges and Jan managed to get the remainder of the mast on deck, tied it properly and continued their voyage to Bergen with help of the engine. They arrived early this morning at the hospitable Askøy Marina. Your reporter took the following pictures. They will give more info on the tragic event on their weblog soon.

Leg 3 |
26-06, 19.30UTC
Leg 3 is underway and after their eventful leg 2 Hotsocks is again chasing Rafiki. Very
impressive sailing by Promineo Racing so far, now just in front of Greyhound. The leaders
have 120 to go to the finish at Marstein Lighthouse, south of Bergen.
At the moments the wind is SSW 15-20kn. At night veering W and decreasing. Tomorrow the
wind will probably die down completely and return at 25-30kn from the SSE tomorrow night.
