Commentary

This excellent around Australia series was created by SOLer Tyger as a memorial to one of our best, Aaron Gage, without whom we would never have had our Flash client. If you think that seems old-fashioned now, just compare it with what you can find via the “Classic” link in a Race Description! Each leg has had a boat polar chosen for it and because of the length of this leg, our fabulous Orange Cat was chosen which, despite some ridiculous winds that allowed TWA courses to take vessels way off route (unsurprisingly) would have allowed everyone to marvel at the sheer size of Australia. The North and West of this amazing country is the location for an awesome TV series, Mystery Road so if you want a sense of this area because, like me, you have yet to visit it in reality, find the two series and even if you dislike the detective-noir genre, the scenery will take your breath away.

Taking the breath away from many of the fleet was the performance of our top SOLers – as ever, it seemed like their boats grew wings! After a start that kept most everyone fairly close together, the approach to Ashmore Reef saw a variety of courses – one group firmly staying N – and it was after this that a leading group just seemed to do no wrong. Our three podium place takers, leading a fleet flying the flags of 31 different nations, confirmed their dominance of the final stages of the race arriving nearly 20mins ahead of the first followers. An excellent result! Well done!

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.
