The Vineyard Race 2024

For the 15th consecutive year, Long Island's Stamford Yacht Club warmly invites all SOLers to join the real fleet in their iconic annual overnighter.

Round Greenland 2024

Just as Skip Novak was embarking for Kamchatsky, Amyr Klink also quietly slipped his Antarctica moorings and by now Paratii 2 has reached Reykjavik, where he invites you to join him on Leg 5 of our High Latitudes Series, a full 3650nm circumnavigation of Greenland. The course is clockwise round, so down the North Atlantic to Cape Farewell, then up the Davis Strait into Baffin Bay and on into the Arctic Ocean proper, where, hopefully and certainly virtually, Paratii 2’s special ice-breaker features will get us thorough the summer ice out onto the Greenland Sea and back to Reykjavik. Stay warm!

Lorient to Galway 2024

We invite you to the next ARCH race. This time we are racing on the 490nm route from Lorient to Galway. Don't let the simple route fool you; after all, we are sailing through the Celtic Sea, which likes to give surprises. The famous Fastnet race is also held in these waters. Prepare your Cape 31 well, so we can try the famous oysters from Galway Bay and enjoy excellent Irish beer at the finish line.

San Francisco to Ushuaia 2024

After a superlong RTW-leg3 (27 days), we have had a month to recover, and maintain our boat, in order to continue our around the world race. Leg 4, even longer than the previous, takes us from California to the world's southernmost city Ushuaia. No waypoints, even "the Ditch" is an option, but maybe a bit too much of a treat. With 6300 nm to go, the estimated duration of this race 29 days. This course is also the August edition of our ocean race championship.
