The B14 Nationals is being hosted by the very hospitable Mumbles Yacht Club with a plentiful supply of bacon butties to prepare the fleet for the windiest day of the Champs.

The public is invited to meet 16 skippers and view their classic yachts from 22 August, following Damien Guillou’s SITraN Challenge victory and the fleet’s first multi-boat GGR Live Window test.

Over the past 24 hours, the Competitors’ Live Blog has captured the two contrasting faces of the RORC Round Britain and Ireland Race.

25 boats came and joined us in the sun. Travellers from: Starcross SC, Datchet SC, Weston SC, Gurnard SC, Stone SC and Stokes Bay SC. Campers and tents parked and pitched, boats rigged and ready, beer flowing, we were off.
