What's this?! ... soft and lazy Danes ...?

Where's my horned helmet?

The starting point of most Danish viking raids was the biggest of the ring forts, Aggersborg.

However, the horrific and despicable act of sacking and looting the peaceful monastery in Lindisfarne must have been Norwegian raiders :-)

The polar is now set/reviewed and ready to race. The raid itself, according to history, was in June so... in June 2012 SOL will attempt to replicate the arrival of the longships at Lindisfarne on 8 June!!

At last!! :-D

This is what the polar looks like:

Excellent film (4 parts). I enjoyed watching. Thanks.
If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

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
