Lisa McDonald, from PredictWind, foretells a calm before the storm for the race start, at 1200 UTC, on the 07 January: “Looking ahead to Sunday’s sunny start from Lanzarote; most of the models are in agreement that the wind will generally be out of the North-Nor-East quadrant, and anywhere from 6 to 10 knots in the morning, with acceleration to 12 to 14 knots in the afternoon, and going into the early evening. There will be a significant wind-shadow effect to the south of the island, with very light and variable wind at times. The fleet is in for a thumping!
