Commentary

Sailonline expresses their sincere condolences to the Qingdaonese as Typhoon Muifa quite literally struck the city of Qingdao. From a Timed Race perspective however, the winning run was almost certainly going to be set by using the winds and wind shift of Muifa. Apart from Muifa and 18 September PM UTC, the winds were light and variable during the 2 week window.
A total of 173 completed attempts of this course were made by 80 skippers in the allotted 2 weeks; a summary of attempts is provided here. As Typhoon Muifa approached Qingdao, it was necessary to pay attention to its movement, as each Wx showed a significantly different typhoon path and hence optimal run to make. With rapidly changing conditions, all the eventual top 10 runs started in a 30 minute window centered on 15 September, 11.30am UTC and much depended on how well the roundings were made. But it was Pit8008 who not only perfected those roundings, but even slightly tweaked their path between wp1 and wp2 to gain those precious few seconds over the other podium sitters calmxy and Kipper1258. Congrats!

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?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
