Ellen will be racing Foncia, a 60ft trimaran

The seas can be very short and choppy which with a 60ft trimaran means the boat can get quite a lot of hammer.

And in the channel there is a lot of other traffic and we'll be going very fast so we need to be very careful.

Tricky

Getting round the headland of Ouessant will also be tricky as that's very busy with ships and we'll be close in to the land, so that's another issue.

In fact these boats are really far happier out on the open sea where the waves are longer.

We will pass really close to the corner of Finistere then head out to the Azores.

Really the easy part will be out in the ocean, although if we get rough weather, the waves can grow really enormous and it can get quite dangerous.

Generally there is high pressure at the Azores so that means light winds but that can shift all around because the summer is coming through.

It'll be nice and warm out there but no time for sun-bathing as it's straight back to Spain!
