    Hi Jumbuck, good to hear you're enjoying the online racing. You rporbably figrueed it by now, but if not, those 9999 boats are the boats in the real race that is going on at the same time.

    Re: In Memoriam - Rob Neilson (Tyger)
    Board » In memoriam
    Much has been written remembering Robert, but perhaps it needs to be said that not only was Robert a terrific marketeer, who really really knew 'the World and its wife' in offshore racing land, but a hugely practical manager, adept at 'throwing it over the fence' once the contacts were established and the plan was in place, as I experienced in 2020, when via go'ol Skype (soon to be discontinued) he walked me into creating a voiced presentation on 'How to SOL' for the website of the Newport Bermuda Race organization. I said you're lucky I have some Powerpoint experience. He said I knew you would have. That was Robert, thinking ahead.

    Slightly awestruck by sailj29's epic on racing from BA to Rio, his fellow poets were silent for a while, but ice and islands got a few keys clicking once again...

    Bonk might bail
    And leave his tight group.
    Will his instinct
    Confirm the route?
    Hippo and Happy, Vida and more,
    Baffin bound,
    Or Hudson Bay chore?

    bonknhoot
    Baffin or bust
    Strait Bellot is cursed
    But, who knows, Jones Sound
    Might be found
    Be an option profound
    Where I’ll then be bound
    In for a penny, in for a pound


    Satori
    If you think that flat is the earth,
    Then you should have stayed in your berth
    Those who think the earth is round,
    Are going north Baffin Island bound!

    bonknhoot
    As the leaders pass Wales
    Engaging in pleasant exchange
    It is high time we admit
    Baffin Sound was not it
    A whole day it cost
    So on we went north
    But to little avail
    In short, a big fail.

This race doubles up as #7 of RWW and #10 of OCCH. A 4400 nm journey of endurance, strategy and pure adrenaline. The RWW series is as whole, part of the 2025 ocean championship. Get ready for this exhilarating challenge as we set sail on the third to last leg of the 2025 Ocean Championship Series! This leg will be raced aboard the Judel Vrolijk 62, pushing sailors to their limits as they navigate the open ocean. Do you have what it takes to conquer the Southern Atlantic?

Vuelta de la Isla Saltes Sprint 2025


Welcome to Spain for our first sprint of Q4. This is a traditional 20 NM local race around Huelva in SW Spain. Chances are a quick circumnavigation will involve some upwind work weaving your way round the mud flats of the upper reaches of the Huelva delta in our Fox 9.50. Fair winds!

Camel or Balloon - Khartoum to N'Djamena


As there is a lull in the calendar, your PRO has decided to risk an experiment – a balloon race over land, using a workaround to eliminate the recognition of water/land transitions. If it fails, the server may crash, and we abandon PDQ, hopefully after leg 7 of the ABS race to Suez has been decided, and before the start of the 1st OCC of Q4. Camel or Balloon – c 1000 nm from a field on the north bank of the Blue Nile at Khartoum to a field on the north bank of the Chari River at N'Djamena!

Africa by Sea 2025 - Mogadishu to Suez


Nearly there; only 2500nm to go, round the Horn and up the Red Sea to Suez into what will more than likely be more headwinds for this sixth leg of our African circumnavigation, to be followed in September by a final sneaky dash up the canal back to where we started all those months ago. We’ll be sailing a not entirely appropriate-for-upwind-work 60ft Trimaran!
