Was indeed the case. It was at the height of the sanctions and it was a political decision to bypass S.A. (Isolation years)

My SAF friends in Aus tell me that the sporting sanctions (particularly cricket and rugby) had a greater effect than the economic bans and any diplomatic lobbying against apartheid.

That is correct to a certain degree. S.A. was self reliant to a large extent for quite a number of years. The sport and cultural blockade hurt more for many as it seemed that the world would literally ignore us and pass us by... In other ways it was the silent economic blockade that slowly strangled the business sector as imports of foreign goods was not allowed... Sport was the key though imo... It managed (eventually)to do a lot in ridding S.A of apartheid

Log Entry #01
02JAN1900Z start brought 16kt winds from the south that freshened to the low 20s in the next two hours and clocked marginally.
The fleet fanned out north of the rhumb-line, with no single strategy standing out against the others.

Are there more log entries to come, javakeda? I'm sure it's not only me that (will) appreciate(s) them ;)

Was just thinking it would not only be fun/cool to have log entries from javakeda but also, if we could find em, notes from Steinlager's own sail back in 1989 ... any ideas how we could get hold of them?

That would be incredibly awesome... I'll do some digging if I can get in touch with the navigator on the race (who gave me the boat polar) and see if he has a copy of the log

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
