Race Leaderboard

Commentary

The 2024 "Silver Rudder - Challenge of the Sea" was nothing short of a sailing masterclass, pushing competitors to their limits as they navigated Denmark’s island of Funen. Spanning 125 nautical miles, this year's race may have seen perfect weather—clear skies and steady winds—but the ever-changing wind patterns turned the course into a strategic battleground. Every SOLer needed sharp reflexes and expert judgment to navigate the unpredictable gusts and shifts in wind direction.

After 26 grueling hours of intense competition, WRmirekd from Poland emerged victorious, displaying unmatched precision and tactical brilliance. Hot on his heels was FreyjaUSA from the USA, whose relentless pursuit earned them a hard-fought second place. Vida_Maldita from Brazil rounded off the podium, delivering a clever and calculated performance to secure third place.

Kudos to all our daring participants for conquering these challenging winds and making it an unforgettable race!

Round Greenland 2024 - RESULTS

Commentary

Slightly more than a hundred SOLers made it to start in Reykjavik for our penultimate race of our High Latitudes Series - the Round Greenland. As yet, as far this editor knows, never circum-sailed IRL, but by the time this race closed, 61 SOLers had achieved this fairly remarkable feat virtually - it's 'very close drift ice' all the way north of 80 degrees, and the wind was mostly from the north as well.

So challenging indeed, and also tactically, since both heading north up the Baffin Strait and then back south again down the Greenland Sea back to Reykjavik, competing options presented themselves - to keep east and hug Greenland or west on the way up, and to keep west hugging Greenland again or east well out to sea.

As it turned out it, west and west again proved to be the winning move and Danish veteran SOLer SKOVSER quite nailed it, with two Americans completing the podium, proving once again that Greenland is more Danish than American, as first established by the recovery of the records of the 1906 'Denmark Expedition' by Mikkelsen and Iversen in 1912.

Halifax to Hooper Bay 2024

And now it’s Autumn in the Arctic, the sun is permanently below the horizon, but during the day, from c 0900 to c 1700 local time, there is some twilight – nautical twilight, not to be confused with civil twilight which is brighter. Having receded all summer, ice is starting to return to the numerous straits and bays of Canada’s North West Passage. High time then to set off on our last leg of the High Latitudes Series from Halifax in Nova Scotia to Alaska’s Hooper Bay. It’s 3850nm and we need to hurry, so we’ll take the Pelagic 77!
