2018 Q3 SRC Review

Q3 started on 1st July with the most popular race that SRC has seen for many a year with the Golden Globe Race (Leg 1) starting from Les Sables d’Olonne in uncharacteristically benign Bay of Biscay conditions. At the time of this article, 3rd October, race entry is closed and we have 567 entrants of whom 214 have already made it to Storm Bay in Tasmania and, after most of them have waited the prescribed 90 minutes, have set off on GGR Leg 2 back to Les Sables d’Olonne. The Seat Of The Pants sailors are doing very well with many in the top twenty. Their bigger challenge will be in matching the routers up the Atlantic.

Our regular Series have continued in Q3 with the Ocean series being dominated by Skovser with two bullets and a 3rd. He was chased home by Patrick70119 and rafa. In the Timed series of just two races Kipper1258 brooked no opposition with two bullets. Azur and rafa were keeping him on his mettle. Again in the 4 race Sprint series Kipper1258 was on form with 1, 2, 3 and 9 closely chased by rafa with knockando claiming third.

The Vineyard Race 2026

For the 16th consecutive year, our SOLers are invited to tackle this iconic 250nm overnighter. The classic route charges out through the sound, leaves Buzzards Bay Light to starboard, rounds Block Island to starboard, and heads home.

This year's weapon of choice is the Beneteau First 47.7. A proven performer since its 2012 SOL debut, this Farr-designed cruiser/racer excels at leading real and virtual handicap fleets. Success will demand sharp tactical navigation, so watch the polars closely to conquer the sound's shifting winds!

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station

To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!
