Commentary

There wasn't a lot of wind about along the east coast of Aotearoa, the island of the long white cloud, so that to make any progress in our Tall Ships Class B masquerading as replica Beagles it paid to stand well offshore. If the ghost of Darwin was on board with anyone of us, he'll have been disappointed as there will have been precious little to observe, classify or philosophise about, other than, how far exactly east should one go, which as has happened before, the crew aboard the good ship WRmirekd, got sweetly right.

Thus, by the time the 90-strong fleet (out of 117 entries) had reached The Dramatic Volcano of White Island, Te Puia o Whakaari, it was all over bar the shouting, and as our old-timers are not equipped with VHF, that was quite pointless, so on we went to finally get some sight of flora and fauna rounding the Coromandel Peninsula and passing the islands of the Hauraki Gulf.

"But on we sailed, regardless, slowly and sedately enjoying the southern summer weather, Mirek doggedly pursued by bonk and Vida and the rest of the fleet. In the end, it was 86 Beaglers made it back to the Bay of Islands to tell tales of and sing songs of mythical kings and iguanas.

I have flown to star-stained heights
On bend and battered wings
In search of mythical kings
Mythical kings and iguanas

Well done, all!"

Tobruk to Iskenderun 2026

Welcome to the fourth of our nine races across the length and breadth of the Magical Mediterranean Sea, and the second that is not in partnership with a real-life event, this time for good reason, which we won’t get into here. From Tobruk to Iskenderun it’s 670nm in length, with the added complication that the island of Cyprus will be in your way. Hoping, possibly forlornly, for plenty of downwind sailing, we’ll take the Lagoon 55 for the voyage!

Tasmania to Kamchatka 2026

Welcome to yet another all-new route. Tasmania to Kamchatka, part of our Ocean Championship and also the third leg of the ROW (Round the Old World) series. Be aware of the obstacles on the way, likely to split the fleet. It's like X:mas to X:mas, crossing the same waters, navigating the same archipelagos. This second race of OCQ2 2026 will be sailed in our revised 'version 2' Imoca 60 Foil. Race #2031
