Route des Princes update: Plymouth prepares to welcome Route des Princes yacht race

From the following article on BBC News website:

Plymouth has been included as a stopover in a new 3,045-mile transatlantic yacht race, this summer.
 
Route des Princes will see yachts - measuring at least 50 ft (15m) long - race between France, Spain, Portugal, the UK and Ireland.

A giant 80 ft (24m) "maxi yacht" will be among the "10 enormous multi-hulls" that will stop over in Plymouth, say the race organisers.

The event will begin on 9 June and will reach Plymouth between June 26 - 29.
