2018 Q3 SRC Review

Q3 started on 1st July with the most popular race that SRC has seen for many a year with the Golden Globe Race (Leg 1) starting from Les Sables d’Olonne in uncharacteristically benign Bay of Biscay conditions. At the time of this article, 3rd October, race entry is closed and we have 567 entrants of whom 214 have already made it to Storm Bay in Tasmania and, after most of them have waited the prescribed 90 minutes, have set off on GGR Leg 2 back to Les Sables d’Olonne. The Seat Of The Pants sailors are doing very well with many in the top twenty. Their bigger challenge will be in matching the routers up the Atlantic.

Our regular Series have continued in Q3 with the Ocean series being dominated by Skovser with two bullets and a 3rd. He was chased home by Patrick70119 and rafa. In the Timed series of just two races Kipper1258 brooked no opposition with two bullets. Azur and rafa were keeping him on his mettle. Again in the 4 race Sprint series Kipper1258 was on form with 1, 2, 3 and 9 closely chased by rafa with knockando claiming third.

To learn about our SSANZ races, 40ft series, Tall Ships racing, Shackleton series and of course the Balloon race. continue reading here

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback

Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!

Roma Giraglia Regata 2026

Our eighth race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil – is another buddy-up; this one with the Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . Founded in 1984, as the new Traiano yacht Harbour neared completion, the Circola since then has developed into one of the major yachting competition centres in Italy, and next to the 450nm Roma per Tutti (which SOL buddied earlier in the year), the Roma Giraglia Regata is its other headline offshore event. First raced in 2005, the 210nm course takes competitors from Traiano to a rock on the inside of the Ile de la Giraglia off the northern tip of Corsica and back to the Italian mainland for a finish in the bay of Santo Stefano. We’re racing this one in our Class 40!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Masirah to Chagos

Having crossed, re-crossed and re-re-crossed the Convergence Zones of the Pacific and the Atlantic, we now face our second crossing of the Convergence Zone of the World’s third great equator-spanning sea, the Indian Ocean, taking us from the channel between Masirah Island and the Oman mainland to the Chagos Archipelago. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be sailing our very fine Archer 78, and won’t mention that both locations (of departure and arrival) are heavily militarized and the why’s and what next’s concerning that – mindful as always of SOL Netiquette.
