Today we will be bringing your Mark Chisnell's blow by blow coverage of Match Race France, the first round of the 2010 World Match Race Tour
As Mark said yesterday, the Internet is the future for live sailing coverage. To try and deliver a product to TV networks, when race offices cannot tell the start time is just going to continually come to tears.
However online its another world and so we are please to bring you racing as it happens.
Today it's the final flights of the Round Robin - Ben Ainslie and his TeamOrigin along with Torvar Mirsky and his MRT Racing look like they are in cruise control.
But at the bottom of the leader board are a couple of the biggest names.
It's Do or Die for Peter Gilmour and his YANMAR Racing team, with a 2-6 record and as Mark Chisnell says 'The four time world champion in a world of hurt and really struggling to make the cut.'
French legend Bertrand Pace also struggling on his return to the Tour and now down at 1-5 - also in trouble.
The crew are currently under AP, so this news feed will go live as soon as the action starts.
