According to the start order decided by the race directors, based on where the boats were moored at the pontoon, it is the British sailor, Dee Caffari, who will be the first to cast off tomorrow morning at 9h15 and follow the local fishermen out of the harbour. After that, the boats will leave their moorings at four-minute intervals.

"I can't quite believe that tomorrow Aviva and I will be lining up against so many sailing legends and to lead the fleet out is an awesome feeling. In 2000, I was here as part of Mike Golding's shore crew, but at the time my limited experience meant I was given the glamorous jobs like jumping in the freezing water and scrubbing the bottom of the boat! Now I'm here with my own Open 60 and I can't wait to go racing against the best in the world," declared Dee.
