2020 Q1 SRC Review

The 4th quarter of 2019 lured us into a false sense of security. The Coronavirus-19 pandemic has hit us all, but to varying degrees. Some countries have imposed and others have recommended self-isolation, closure of restaurants, pubs, hotels, cinemas, theatres etc. and non-essential businesses. In the vast majority of countries essential businesses continue, with some working at home if such is possible, but many workers are being asked to continue to venture out and provide essential medical services, manage shops, deliver goods around the country, police our streets, provide fire services, collect rubbish etc. and all of them are exposing themselves to the virus on our behalf.

Current Races:

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.
