Please note that races 2 and 3 of the series will NOT be run mid-week - however quickly they can be raced,it was just too tough for many with other commitments.

SO.. the races in August and September will be run on the weekend BEFORE the IRL races and will start on the Friday evening (i.e., 6 August and 10 September).

Just heard fromWairua - the race was postponed for 20mins and Open Country is now making 0.1kts!

I am v glad SOL did its run with good winds!!!
-------------------------

0700utc 03jul10: just rnd passage rock
very slow very light 4 hrs to go
-------------------------

What a drifter!
we had the anchor down 100m from the finish for approx 4 hrs!!!

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!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Guam to Ouvéa


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
