The latest eta for Mari Cha IV is 09:30 UTC tomorrow (09/10/03) morning. If Robert Miller and his crew arrive at any time before 13:35 UTC tomorrow, they will have knocked an astonishing 2 days off the existing record and become the first monohull ever to sail across the atlantic in under 7 days.

The current record is held by Bernard Stamm onboard Armour-Lux and stands at 8 days, 20 hours, 55 minutes and 35 seconds.

Once Mari Cha IV has reached Lizard Point and completed the record attempt, it will sail straight to Falmouth.

The latest eta will be updated throughout the day.
