The Artemis Transat race was started in Plymouth at 1400 BST on Sunday 11 May, 2008 and BBC Devon was there.

Watch as the world's top yachtsmen set off on the 2,800-mile single-handed race across the Atlantic from Plymouth, UK to Boston, USA.

Our cameras covered the start of the race and Spotlight's Andy Breare and Natalie Cornah - with the help of former Spotlight producer Tony Byers - provided an informed commentary. 

The webcast also features some of the pre-race build-up as the fleet gathered ahead of the start..
