2020 Q4 SRC Review

It is not big news to note that Coronavirus19 has caused a second spike in the Western world but now that we, in the North, are out of the sailing season there has been little demand for replacement virtual races or at least they have been accommodated in our existing calendar with one big exception. That exception comes from the Royal Cape Yacht Club selecting SOL for two virtual Cape Town to Rio races in 2021 and 2022 and then being the virtual partner for the real race in 2023. The whole SOL team is delighted in being invited to host these virtual races with the first virtual start occurring at 1200 UTC on 2nd January 2021.

Reverting now to the more mundane, in summarising the results for the Series racing in the 4th Quarter 2020, they are as follows.

Ocean Series
The three races for this Series were the last leg of the SOL Round the World race from Uruguay to near Lisbon in our 125’ Catamaran, joining the Gray Whales for their migration North to South and then sailing the Christmas Island to Christmas Island race in our OD65 v3 that may need to be replaced with a bit faster yacht next year.

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.
