This year, as we did last year, we are providing the prizes and following with interest the skill and endurance of the competitors in The Three Peaks Yacht Race, which started on Saturday. The crews are sailing about 390 nautical miles up the British coast, from Barmouth in Wales to near Fort William in Scotland, punctuated by three land stages in which they run up the highest peaks in the country - Snowdon in Wales, Scafell Pike in England and Ben Nevis in Scotland - altogether, climbing 14,000 feet. We expect them to be near these islands on their passage north by later today or tomorrow - live progress can be tracked here https://www.threepeaksyachtrace.co.u...
