It's a typical day in Malé - hot, humid and with little wind. The start line has been laid between the race committee boat and a small island off Malé.

Wind is light, around five to six knots, and the teams are setting up for a port-tack start.

Follow text updates at our live blog HERE, and stand by for live video calls to the boats shortly after the start.
