TR2011 Media Team: Breeze picking up

We are grateful to our sponsors for their generous support

Looking at the TR2011 Tracker - http://www.transatlanticrace.org/tracker.html The breeze has picked up for the six yachts out on the race course, Nordwind is the most southerly boat and the 86' Yawl is reaching along at speed, averaging about 10 knots. In just over six hours the bulk of the fleet in the Transatlantic Race will start. 14 yachts will start the marathon race across the North Atlantic.

There will be live updates from the starting line via Twitter and Facebook.
