Numerous attractions - here is today's program - and direct contacts with the skippers, who are making their final preparations, make a visit very attractive. 500,000 spectators are expected for the starting day. There are numerous portraits of the participants on the website (and in most international sailing media) - here is an interesting interview with Justine Mettraux SUI. There are live interviews every day at 12.30pm, yesterday it was the turn of Samantha Davis GBR and Alan Roura SUI. The event website.
