Commentary

The second leg of the Rounding the New World series started in light conditions, with just 4 knots of south-westerly wind on the starting line. The main fleet immediately headed southwest in search of stronger breeze, and the gamble paid off. Within nine hours, the leading contenders were experiencing winds of up to 32 knots, although this came at a price: VMC was strongly negative, at times exceeding 8 knots away from the Cape Horn waypoint. By the third day, the fleet gradually began turning south. At this stage, the eventual winner was almost 500 nautical miles behind the race leader—a striking reminder that in a race of this length, the right route can matter far more than an early lead.

From there, the main fleet settled into a powerful run toward Cape Horn, with strong and favourable winds carrying the boats all the way to the waypoint. After rounding Cape Horn, the fleet faced another tactical dilemma: whether to head for the Le Maire Strait or gybe east into the open Atlantic. In the end, only one of the frontrunners opted for the strait, passing north of Isla de los Estados, or Staten Island, Argentina. The favourable winds continued to accompany the fleet for the remainder of the race, producing a fast final stretch. The winner had established a decisive advantage 850 nautical miles from the finish, while the remaining podium positions stayed in contention right up to the finish line.

A total of 121 contenders participated, with 105 having reached the finish at the time of writing. The routing spread was substantial: the longest distance sailed was 7,117 nautical miles, resulting in 90th place, while the shortest was just 5,354 nautical miles, finishing in 86th. The winner completed the course in 12 days, 11 hours and 17 minutes, achieving an impressive average VMC of 16.5 knots, with a real average speed of 21.1 knots. Another fast and strategically demanding leg—where the early miles mattered less than finding the right route when it counted.

Commentary

Over one month ago now, 82 SOLers embarked on a virtual version of the classic Viareggio-Bastia-Viareggio regatta, which, in real-life, unfortunately had been postponed to 2027. This sixth (of 9) race of our Magical Mediterranean series one imagines should have been a pleasant sun-drenched affair for our absent buddies, with our leaders getting there (Corsica) and back (Tuscany) in 25 hours, sailing 170nm in their Class 40 yachts at a average speed of just under 7 knots. Balmy conditions one imagines, but of course the competition was fierce, and, hitting the finish, less than one server jump separated winner WRmirekd from his nearest pursuer, KaSToR.

With the seventh race of the series since then also completed, two races remain. Be sure not to miss them: the Roma Giraglia Regata in cooperation with the Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano, and a final fantasy from Egypt's Sallum to northern Greece's Fanari!

Report

Commentary

More than one month ago now, Frenchman KaSToR was first to finish the first leg of two, from Neumayer Station to Scott Base, around Antarctica; also the third leg of four of our New Ice Age long-distance DN series. Your blog-tasked race officer (that's me; ed.) was embarked on his own real-life circumnavigation at the time (around Ireland in a heatwave; ed.) and wasn't paying attention. Nevertheless, some weeks later when said race officer was still circling real-life, KaSToR submitted a report fearing he'd be late. Patently, his fears were unfounded!

The wait is over. Felicitations then and well done KaSToR; it's a fine report (under the ice above; ed.)!

Reports

Commentary

It was all upwind, well more-or-less, but, as ever racing in The Mediterranean, it was far from simple, as reflected on in the short pertinent reports from the top of the podium under the buttonized Croatian flags above. Check them out. There's all sorts of tips there, from 'hunting for lanes' to 'training on gravel pits'!

Next up in our Magical Mediterranean Series is another buddy-up, courtesy of the close coordination from our Italian SOLers; the Roma Giraglia Regata, slated for September 18. Our final race of the series; equinoctial winds across the Tyrrhenian – don't miss it!
