Phil's team have arrived with a five mile lead over Terry, who is at John Garrow Light. The wind has picked up which may get the challengers in a bit quicker, but barring serious injury or accident Tim Piper and Mark Guy should get home first.
They made an ultra-quick check-in and had time to front the media before starting their run.
Piper was confident although "extremely nervous" about the run.
"We couldn't see the other boats so they're a fair way back. We thought if we had a lead of 10 minutes we'd be able to do it, so we definitely should make it."
They are still thinking strategy though, planning to go up hard and then when they hear how much of a lead they have take it easy downhill if they need to to avoid injury.
