Guy says his boat, the Sagamartha, will be in Scarborough for the event today before heading off for more pre-race renovation.
Competitors in the sailing race will sail single handedly throughout the 5000 mile race, and what's more they will be using navigation equipment dating from the time of the first race in 1968.
