Fri 1st Jul @ 18:21 hrs: I have spoken to our Convoyer and Mark Gilbert, Race Controller for the BICC as well as our weather advisor. Tomorrow we have a small band of rain coming in from the North West, which will spread from Cornwall to Yorkshire. We are hoping this will break up as the morning progresses. Winds in the Channel moderate South West. We will update around 08.00 tomorrow morning. Steve White, Race Advisor.
