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

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.
