Here in the Coutts Quarter Ton Cup press office we are enjoying listening to the regular updates on wind status from the team aboard Marks 1 who are in charge of the weather marks this week and have a very dry sense of humour. As well as the expected reports of wind at around 3 knots or less we’ve had an update on the torrential rain and their need for an umbrella and their latest communications largely revolve around an urgent request for cake!  Sadly that latest missive (just before 10.30) included the news that there is absolutely no wind on the race course and there’s another band of rain cloud on the way!

We’re standing by for the next official update from Rob Lamb is a few minutes.
