Upon registration each participant will receive hand luggage label with adequate straps which need to be attached to the bags. Hand luggage - the organizer will arrange transfer of one piece of properly labeled hand language. Hand luggage can be dropped off every day before the start and will be delivered to you after each stage at the finish area. The term “hand luggage” refers to a bag with maximum capacity of 25 litres. Bear in mind that traveling across sea largely depends on weather conditions. Due to various circumstances and the captains’ judgements related to safe navigation, there is a possibility that the schedule will change at any given moment. Consequently, slight changes in transfer schedules may occur as well, but all detailed information regarding each following stage will be provided to you at the info desk and in daily briefings. In terms of race logistics, feel free to relax as we arrange all required transfers on your behalf. !11
