This year’s Rolex Commodore’s Cup takes to the water at 10.30am on Monday. There has been no shortage of activity since close of challenges for the 9th biennial event.
Organiser, the Royal Ocean Racing Club, has had to deal with last minute changes to the British Blue team following the IRC Nationals, the French making their final team selections at the last possible moment and the usual amendments to ratings. All the teams are leaving nothing to chance. Every advantage is a good advantage and no detail is being overlooked.
Fifteen teams, comprising a total of 45 yachts spread over six nations will be on the start line, all fired up in anticipation of a highly competitive event. For this year’s challenge, teams range from France, Great Britain and Ireland to Hong Kong, the Netherlands and Spain.
