Under 50 days left before the start of the Race. But there's no need for competitors to panic. You can achieve a lot in 48 days.
At this stage you probably have endless lists and ,the more you manage to tick things off, the more new items you've discovered have to be added.
But don't let finishing all those tasks keep you away from what the Race is all about and what you should be doing now - sailing. Of course you need to complete your preparations but you really do need to be used to sailing and living on your boat when the Race starts. You can't afford to waste the first few days of the Race in finding your sealegs. And what better way of getting a chance to relax from all the hectic boat preparations and demands of your job than going for a sail!
