Hum... as compared to Slip to Ship, this seems like a more advanced, make sure your boat, your rigging, your skipper and your crew are 100% up to a n amazing non-stop sail?
I can already tell unless I'm in the front of the fleet the gravitational pull of the beach will be hard to resist, on the BRIGHT side of the Island. :)

Will the competitors get to choose which way they go around the island?
