This is it – in a couple of hours we leave Den Helder, and at 2pm local time (1pm BST) the final race home starts. 

A short 200-mile hop from Holland to England, and we’re home. 

If you’re coming to London on Saturday all the details of the fleet’s parade up the Thames, and our arrival into St Katherine docks, are on my website here. 

And, just maybe, we’ll beat GB…
