The morning team leaders meeting has just concluded and the sailors are busy preparing their boats for the day of racing ahead.
To conclude, it’s going to be hot, very hot.
Temperatures around 33-34 degrees along with high humidity at 70-85% will reduce some visibility.
A southeasterly breeze at 4-6 knots will be prevalent between 10:00-12:00 before it picks up at 10 knots in the afternoon with gusts up to 16 knots.
Racing gets underway at 12:00 local time with live updates on the event blog here.
