1100 - The fleet to assemble off the John Garrow Light.
1130 - The MYCT's Launch, Egeria will make a sound signal to indicate the official start of the Parade of Sail and head along a course that takes the boats past Wrest Point, then across to Rosny Point (overtaking the Egeria is considered poor form).
