CONGRATULATIONS GnT!!! FELICIDADES rafa!! PARABÉNS nacrr!

Well done podiers!!! This run from Mangonui has seen some excellent tactical sailing - it was almost all to play for before the Gates Harbour mark and you three have shown us what it took to win the day! The folks at Stewart Island have been preparing a warm welcome for the racers in reality and probably have no idea that their harbour is already filling up with virtual boats. The SOL Leg may be finishing, but please do spare a thought for the real boats still battling in some of the worst sailing conditions New Zealand can throw at them.

09mar12 SSANZ UPDATE: Danaide finished at 0958hrs Expedition Coppelia are around lower corner of South Island and expect to finish tomorrow. Pelagian II are not far from rounding.

08mar12 SSANZ UPDATE: Danaide is becalmed within sight of the finish - frustrating! Pelagian II and Expedition Coppelia are close to Dusky Sound. All well in light airs.

07mar12 SSANZ UPDATE:-Truxton is around the bottom of the South Island. Danaide in Dusky Sound. Pelagian II and Expedition Coppelia making good progress south. Panther have withdrawn from the race

06mar12 SSANZ UPDATE:-Surreal has finished Leg 2!! Vingalot, Sunstone and Revs close to the finish, expected within the next few hours!!

04mar12 SSANZ UPDATE:-Sunday NZ evening check.

03mar12 SSANZ UPDATE:- In addition to checking the Radio Reports (link below) remember also to keep checking crew.org.

02mar12 SSANZ UPDATE: See Radio Reports link below. Other on-the-run information is available here.

01mar12 SSANZ UPDATE:: There are some problems with trackers so tonight's (NZ local time) radio check gives the latest info (see Radio Reports link below)

The stop at Mangonui has been all too brief and it is now time to get ready for the longest of the four legs of this year's race, a run round the top of N Island to the very bottom of S Island of New Zealand.

This time SOL is sailing a new-to-SOL First 47.7SD - the polar has been modified to conform with that of Surreal the boat being sailed by Cameron Thorpe, Chairman of SSANZ, in the real race!!

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
