70 teams from eight different nations have entered the Royal Ocean Racing Club Myth of Malham Race, with the first start at 1300 BST from the Royal Yacht Squadron Line on Thursday 02 June. The start of the race will be streamed live by the Royal Ocean Racing Club.
The course mirrors the start of the Rolex Fastnet Race, taking the fleet around notable headlands with complex tides, including Portland Bill and Start Point. The Eddystone Lighthouse, nine miles off the Cornish Coast, is the turning point for the 230-mile race with a finish just outside the Solent.
Live coverage of the start of the Myth of Malham Race will be streamed on the RORC Facebook Page with expert commentary from RYA Race Director and winning Skipper for the Volvo Ocean Race, Ian Walker. For race fans in Cowes, the best vantage points of the start will be along Cowes Green and Egypt Esplanade. Competing boats can be tracked using AIS data, when in range, via the free YB tracker player. There is also a YB Races App for the Myth of Malham Race available free to download on smart devices.
