Unfortunately this year's start will not be "going off with a bang" as new legislation regarding fireworks in public places "has made it hard to fire a large cannon in the middle of a crowded wharf". Sticks in the mud! Perhaps a petition for the return of the cannon should be made?

Three Peaks Media may be offline for a short time around the race start, but Raoul is aiming to bring live video footage of the start to the website, so stay tuned.
At the moment we have a moderate but freshening southerly, a little stronger and not quite so sunny as is usual for Good Friday at Beauty Point!
