While the 33 boats in the Barbados 50<\/em> transatlantic rally are romping along in steady trade winds conditions towards their Caribbean destination, a smaller fleet of 23 yachts has gathered in the capital of Tenerife to prepare for their own transatlantic passage that will start from here on Saturday 19 November.<\/p>\n
