 With the America's Cup due to get underway in five months time, those considering making the trip to Bermuda need to be aware of the race schedule.
The America's Cup is set to be one of the shortest with the entire regatta complete within a month.
Essentially it is in two phases - with the usual intense racing program for the first two weeks - from May 26th to June 11th.
This covers the Qualifiers, Semi-Finals and Finals.
The America's Finals are only two days long, with maybe a third day, if required - so they are a three day event max. Semi-Finals are just a three day event.
The America's Cup Match itself has two days of racing Saturday and Sunday - June 17th - 18th followed by a five day break, with two further days of racing the following weekend June 24th - 25th and with a provision for two further days of racing on the Monday and Tuesday if required.
Racing in the Match lasts just 90 minutes, starting at 2.00pm
On the five days off there is a J Class regatta for three days with nine of the 120ft classics entered in what will be a spectacular event, and the Finals of the Red Bull Youth World Cup will be also sailed in the harbour.
There is no racing at all on the Thursday and Friday before the first race of the 35th America's Cup.
