**SUNDAY - FINAL LEG INTO MONTE-CARLO**
The fleet will be leaving from St Tropez between 1200 and 1230, for an expected arrival into Monte-Carlo at 1400. Several supporter boats are already confirmed, and we welcome any others wishing to join the occasion (please contact me directly if you wish to be a part of the final day)

No daily update today as the focus is solely on the final leg from St Tropez to Monte-Carlo. All four boats have made it and will gather at 1100 (London) 1200 (Local) for a start within the following 30 minutes. Latest updates and images will be on our Facebook page and the fleet can be tracked here:
