This afternoon will see the arrival of the remainder of the 20 strong fleet, welcoming back a full entry list to this 17th year of the Cup.
The 5 J’s were seen out on the bay of Palma yesterday, the sun bringing in an early afternoon sea breeze of 18-19 knots. Today, a cloudy start as the J’s left the dock for their second practice day, so lighter and cooler conditions in which to perfect those all important start sequences and manoeuvres. The battle begins tomorrow for the first race of 4 for the J’s, with Hanuman, Lionheart, Ranger, Rainbow and Velsheda all competing again for the first time since the St Barths bucket in March and the first time 5 J’s have raced in the Med. Let the games begin!
