Commentary

92 boats set sail on time. All in all, 142 participated and 110 of them reached the finish line (at the time of writing).

All boats started on a broad starboard reach, heading for open water. The fleet was more or less gathered on a unanimous front until the end of day two. At this point there was a notable split in the fleet, resulting in two predominant strategies, in which the "usual suspects" were equally represented. The western party, obviously routing on long term forecast, expecting a favourable condition at a later stage of the race. They suffered a substantial loss over the next 16 days. At this point the forthcoming winner was 442 nm behind the leader. From that point onwards the Westerners narrowed the gap fast, catching up in less than 5 days, overtaking the lead on day 24. The "winner" of the eastern party ended up on #14, 8 hours behind the winner.

The winning strategy seemed to be a combination of the two main strategies, as the winner Olev, started out with the eastern party, but gradually slipped over, joining the western party on day 14.

This was indeed a long and challenging race, both in time and distance. Looking ahead, it may be wise to consider faster vessels in such a long race.

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
