Commentary

Our second race of our virtual California Race Week was of course and had-to-be the iconic SoCal 300. This was already the 9th time we were honoured to be the online buddy of the event's organising clubs - the Encinal Yacht Club, St Francis Yacht Club, Monterey Peninsula Yacht Club, Santa Barbara Yacht Club and San Diego Yacht Club. Online, exactly 99 boats showed on the line for the start off Santa Barbara at the in-confusion mis-set time of 1300UTC, when alas the real-life racers as well as a few sleepy SOLers were still fast asleep. Sorry about that!

Despite the untimely start, once through the Santa Cruz Channel and out at sea, conditions were very similar to what our Super Maxi tri's had encountered in the 500 a week earlier, as reflected on by the eventually 2nd and 3rd place finishers, Zorba777 the Greek and Satori the Canuck, in their excellent, well-illustrated reports under the brown bears above.

This time, it was our well-known Polish virtual skipper WRmirekd who was able to find that 'perfect balance between V-max and D-sailed' by 'holding out at sea (the right bit) and deciding when to gybe (the right point) for the shore and the finish off San Diego' to take the gun by just under a minute from his two nearest pursuers. Another multinational podium, well done all!

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.
