Commentary

The 2024 Vasco da Gama Ocean Race was an exhilarating downwind dash along the east coast of South Africa, covering a challenging 250-nautical-mile course from Durban to East London. This prestigious and longstanding event, now charting a new course, continues to be a highlight in international sailing competitions, offering a unique journey steeped in history.

Our SOLers harnessed the speed and power of their Carkeek 40s, navigating with precision and skill. Due to the wind conditions, the race became a fast-paced, thrilling adventure, testing the sailors' abilities to the fullest.

WRmirekd of Poland claimed first place, showcasing exceptional form and strategy. Patrick70119 of South Africa secured second place, and ALP317 of France rounded out the podium in third, completing a fiercely competitive race.

The 2024 Vasco da Gama Ocean Race once again delivered an unforgettable sailing experience, highlighting the best in international competition and the spirit of adventure that defines this historic event.

Capt Anderson's Resupply TIMED Race - RESULTS

FELICIDADES rafa !!!
CONGRATULATIONS CriticalHippo !!
CONGRATULATIONS Never_Again_11 !

Race Leaderboard

Commentary

Back in 2013, this race was the last of a four-leg series designed by keen, erstwhile SOLer NZL_Scotsman, in memory of his grandfather who supplied the lights of Vancouver Island by sailing ship, many, many decades ago, and it was this leg that back in 2013 and presumably in 1913 as well, proved to be the most challenging, and especially the long narrow passage up the Alberni Inlet for the eponymous resupply.

To quote from NZL_Scotsman’s report to the blog in 2013: “There was carnage on the course with numerous beachings and countless tacks and gybes. Lots of boats rose and fell on the leaderboard faster than the tides.” So, we simply had to see that spectacle again!

In 2013, it was sassy66, who still races more than actively with us today, who best negotiated the rocks and shifts along the Vancouver Island coast and up the inlet. sassy66 wasn’t out for this one, and no one can say whether he could have repeated that victory. What can be said though is that another stalwart SOLer, who finished 13th in 2013, took the gun, completing the course in a few minutes more than one day, besting his nearest rivals by a few minutes more. Top class timing, rafa!
