We already have an ocean race pre-Christmas so we need a date in Jan/Feb (or end Dec).. there's got to be one!

I think long ocean races are good in Dec/Jan - folks are on Christma/New Year / ski/other vacations so a long race keeps folks in touch :-)

Would this be longer than any previous races here?
I'd be up for the slog!

Here is the first leg of the mutineers, which was from Tonga to French Polynesia. I've suggested using Steinlager II as a modern boat a similar length to the HMS Bounty.

Given the recent loss of the vessel and some crew, would suggest making this a memorial race, something like the A3. Perhaps, after the appropriate interval, even contact the Tall Ship Bounty organization(www.tallshipbounty.org) and ask if a memorial race would be of interest to bring together the organization as a way of remembering the vessel and crew? Would cite our ongoing relationship with other Tall Ship organizations. Their website has been suspended at the moment but there may be others ways of contacting them in the future.

Suggest getting a polar for the Bounty herself instead of a modern platform.

Just a thought.

Good idea SP. Might be worth adding more legs to include the passage from the UK out to the Pacific.

I feel such action would be ill advised, seeing as they have taken down their website and we have no connection to any of the individuals involved. Just saying keep the original historical perspective.

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
