The tension is mounting and the stress is enormous as we only have three days to go until the race.  Richard (above right) and Keith (below) are working on the boat like demons, Ed (top left) is up to his ears in software, weather routeing programmes and satellite systems, Katharine and Ginny (below) are shopping and planning our healthy menus, and Simon is on holiday...  but at least he's sailing (in Sweden).
 
The Sevenstar Around Britain and Ireland Race starts on Monday 7 August from Cowes to Cowes, the course goes clockwise round the whole of Britain and Ireland non-stop.  You can monitor our progress by satellite in real time at the RORC website www.rorc.org
