Additional Information:

Weather forecast for the BT Global Challenge fleet for the next 3 days, issued by The Meteorological Office at 0730 GMT on Monday 2nd December 1996: An area of low pressure just to the southeast of the Falklands will move quickly east, resulting in a strengthening westerly airflow during Monday. As the fleet rounds Cape Horn, and enters the open seas, the winds will continue to increase in strength with heavy rain expected during Tuesday. The sea state and swell are also expected to increase during the forecast period.
