Plymouth’s Sutton Harbour is hosting some of the world’s top sailors tonight.
The 45th edition of La Solitaire du Figaro arrived around 4pm. A tough race, it is considered to be the world championships for single-handed yachtsmen and women, one of the main training grounds for the famous Vendee Globe.
They will leave on Saturday starting with a 6.30pm race right in front of the hoe, all 40 boats. It's the Americas Cup all over again and thousands will descend on Plymouth Hoe to watch the thrilling spectacle. And I will be there, promise, to bring all the action for you!
In the meantime the boats and crew are getting downtime tonight.
