Commentary

No reports on this one, but your roving reporter sharply remembers what went on. Soft balmy winds generally from ahead but sometimes from the sea reigned for the duration of the two weeks window, but early doors, over the course of Tuesday, 5 April, up to 9 knots of breeze out of the WSW developed, which as far as the 7-day WX stretched was as good as it was going to get, and the usual suspects, bar Kipper1258, went out for a spin, or rather an overnighter, with Pit8008 coming out on top as the wind faded away again.

Several days later, new WX's started to show that a much better window would likely develop for Friday, 15 April. And it did, but in the early hours of the UTC morning and those who had not checked the 2230z WX before going to bed (or out for the day) missed it badly, as the favourable breeze died away as quicky as it had come. Pit8008 missed the ideal depart time by slightly more than a minute , thus ceding his lead to Italy's Cippalippa, who had not featured Tuesday the week before. Starting at 4 seconds past midnight, Cippa recorded a time of 9:44:11, several hours quicker than the previous bests as the winds now got up to 11 knots and briefly more, again out of the WSW. Pit did it in 9:44:24, and Vida_Maldita starting 11 minutes later recording a 9:44:30, with Kipper starting for his one and only run a further 16 minutes later just missing the podium in 9:44:36. Well done all who spotted the moment and scrambled out onto the course as soon as they could!

Rapallo to Nador 2026


Welcome to Liguria’s Rapallo, there where Zarathustra spoke - at length - to Nietzsche, for our first race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil. A number of our races in this new Magical Mediterranean series will be partnership with famous real-life races, but this first race is pure fiction - 780nm in refurbed IMOCA 60s, past or through the Balearic Isles and on into the Alboran Sea, to a finish off Nador on the Maroc Mediterranean coast.

Red Eye - Melville Island PYOC 2026

Melville Island is the largest of the Tivi group opposite the port of Darwin in the Timor Sea. Tropically forested and thinly populated, not a lot goes on there, but let’s race around it anyway, lar- or starboard round, it’s a little more than 120nm, so, no matter where you are navigating from on the planet, you will be hard-pressed to complete the course aboard your J-80 in daylight hours!

The third race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us southeastward now down the Pacific, from Guam’s Apra Harbour at 13.5 degrees North, back across the Equator to the glorious New Caledonian resort island of Ouvéa, on the edge of the Tropic of Capricorn at 20.5 degrees South. It’s 2400nm, and there’s more than a few other islands in the way, so mind where you go in your Ocean 50s. Race #1981
