Bay of Bengal Sprint 2024

CONGRATULATIONS Flamingo !! CONGRATULATIONS CollegeFund !

Race Leaderboard

Commentary

The only previous running on this course was a 2014 Timed race which allows optimizing for weather in a Seacart 30 that finished in just over 4 hours. Ten years later in the 2024 Sprint edition no such opportunity to choose an optimal race window is allowed. So, when the cannon sounded it was time to go. In a not so sprinty time of 13:46:09 it was Mirek who lead the way to the finish followed by Flamingo and CollegeFund who arrived less than a minute later to seal the podium.

This was also the final Sprint of Q1 and the resulting podium for the quarter was set by all USA SOLers. Pitt, Freyja and CollegeFund managed to capture the quarterly podium and take the lead in the annual championship. Q2 is around the corner and with starts switching to favor European racers what will happen and how will it affect the championship rankings?

Commentary

It's bitter cold on Manicouagan today and from the International Space Station it certainly looks like the lake is hard frozen over at the moment, so if you'd been there in real life, chances are you could have raced, but online of course we don't care and we raced anyway, and of course our leading DN-ers shattered the course record set in a Platu 25 on a better day in 2013 of 1 day 19 hours and 36.17 minutes by an earlier American stalwart, A2.

And taking it by just 2 seconds in just 3 hours and 33.63 minutes for his second win in our DN Ice Series was one of our new Italians, ITA210, and with it winning the series overall. Zoof, zoof, zoof, read all about it in his report under his DN above. ALLAGRANDISSIMA!!!!!

Commentary

On a late afternoon, February 5th, we embarked on our journey across the Indian Ocean, brimming with anticipation. Initially, the race seemed straightforward, but after a week, a significant split occurred within the frontrunner group. A major contingent opted to gybe southwest, maintaining their course for approximately 50 nautical miles before gybing back northwest. This strategic separation persisted for four days, with the gybing groups eventually intersecting the path of the frontrunners. As a result, the 'non-gybers' found themselves leading the pack, ultimately producing the podium finisher from this group.

The weather conditions proved favorable throughout the race. Occasional winds reaching 25 knots, fortunately from behind, propelled us to speeds exceeding 20 knots at times. Despite encountering a high-pressure front on day 4, which was swiftly overcome without significant delay, we maintained an impressive average speed of over 14 knots, with the podium finisher covering approximately 5100 nautical miles.

Remarkably, all 156 registered sailors commenced the race on time. Additionally, 10 more sailors registered and started late, joined by on-water spectators adding to the excitement. At the time of writing, 144 boats have successfully crossed the finish line, with a dozen more potentially finishing before the race concludes.

San Juan Islands TIMED Race 2024

Welcome to the beautiful Pacific Northwest and the San Juan Islands. The Salish Sea is home to five different types of whales including Orcas, making this archipelago one of the best places in the world to see whales in the wild.

Casey Station to Neumayer Station 2024

It’s late summer now in Antarctica, the sun will still not set, but the Emperor chicks are hatched. Let’s yacht on from Australia’s Casey Station, destination Germany’s Neumayer Station! Our route takes us past Molodezhnaya Stancija, Russia’s self-styled capital of Antarctica, as well as Mirney (RUS), Davis (AUS), Mawson (AUS), Syowa (JAP) and Maitri (IND) down the full length of the continent’s east coast. It’s not much more than 2600nm, so let’s take Brazil’s Amyr Klink’s more stately and very comfortable 29m LOA Paratii 2 for this second leg of our six-leg high latitude adventure!

The Beagle in the Falklands

Having seen enough of the Cape Verdes, the Beagle sailed on into the west, and after a one-day stop off the mid-Atlantic isle of Fernando de Noronha anchored in the Bay of All Saints off the Brazilian mainland on the 28th of February. From there, the expedition very slowly worked its way onward and southward, surveying and exploring, to reach the Falkland Islands more than a year later. Notwithstanding that they only stayed briefly in the Falklands, in 2024 we will sail our virtual Beagle, a Tall Ship Class B, 470nm round and about the islands’ bays and straits, but mind the kelp forests that so impressed Darwin, don’t slow you down!

Flight of the Godwit - Wellington to Hegura 2024


Bar-tailed godwits can fly about 6500 nm without resting - further than any other known bird. They fly at about 32 knots, which means this 5000 nm leg would be done in a week. We won't be able to accomplish that, although we will sail our fast Maxi trimaran. This race is the first of three legs reflecting the migration routes of the bird, and the third leg of the 2024 Ocean Race Championship. The voyage promises to be not only a test of skill and strategy but an immersive experience in the beauty of the archipelagos of the western Pacific. Join us as we push the boundaries of seafaring prowess on this epic adventure. Let's fly like a godwit!
