Reports

Commentary

Embarking on this daring adventure required a special breed of sailors – those either exceptionally brave or blissfully clueless. Out of the 62 racers who set sail on time, only 35 successfully navigated their way to the finish line, meticulously rounding all 21 waypoints in the correct order and direction. The key to triumph rested on a delicate balance: staying vigilant or configuring precise DC.s, and ideally, executing both strategies.

It's worth noting that the racing area in real life (IRL) is infinitely more intricate than the simplified SOL map suggests. A glimpse at the navigation charts northwest of Korpo, accessible here: Navigation Charts, unveils the complexity of the topography. This region serves as a testament to the fact that a staggering 90% of the world's navigation marks are concentrated in the waters of Finland and Sweden combined. The race, therefore, not only tested the mettle of the sailors but also showcased the navigational intricacies of this unique and challenging maritime environment.

Hats off to the intrepid captains of CollegeFund Speedwagon and brewman, who not only kept their vessels afloat but also conquered the challenges throughout the entire race.

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara


Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!
