Race distance 630 nautical miles (1,170 km)
"It's certainly not a forecast for a record," Wild Oats XI skipper Mark Richards said.
"The record will get smashed one year, but I don't think this will be the year."
Worst Disaster: 1998, 6 sailors died and 5 yachts sunk; 115 yachts started but only 43 finished.
