I think there's a tracking problem with Apivia- dropped off my official tracker completely, but still well ahead on marine traffic live

The official tracker is useless for us. LiveShips is our best option at the moment. Gitana just tacked to go between Guernsey and Alderney!

Oops! meant to say VesselFinder. Seems quicker to update and you can see which boat is which more easily.

I think this is just badly phrased. The safety of the small boats with a 125ft boat short tacking through the fleet at the Hurst Narrows is a pretty valid argument for sending the big boats first. 

Having skippered a biggish boat when we started last, it was bloody terrifying trying to avoid everyone short tacking out of the narrowest point of the race course. 
^^^^^This. Even more scary for the little boats.

Have got some cracking photos from the vantage point of Hurst Castle. Will edit and post tonight. Scorpios looked quite relaxed but going well.

Not only is tracker pretty useless, thank's to Privacy Badger, Ublock-Origin et al. it's clear who's being tracked. It's not the yachts.

Indeed, and I have disabled everything but I still don't see anything from the "live blog".

That site is really crappy !
