Hi all,

We are almost at the end of a great and long batlle from Panama to San Francisco. I followed a bit of feedback in the chat and I think its nice to hear how you all feel about the race length we provide.

We are looking to host a wide range of races in all sort of lengths. Maybe we can tweak something or give a better preview of what to expect before subscribing, like a rough estimate in days.

Let us know what you think

Hi Jeroen
As a new boy from the BWR I like the lengths of race you are putting on here - I think it's great to mix up the short (Finnish Lake was good) with the long - and I think you're choice of courses is great - Naples to Tripoli very good.
I find the longer races are different tactically to the short ones.
So, I suppose I'm saying that I like the mixture!
Panama SF was great - 2 weeks. Maybe from my point of view one of those a month mixed in with a couple of sprints?

I say like watermaster. The mix is good. Long and short races are different type of tactics.

I like it too!
But it feels like the short races are more pure luck, at least with the 15 sec update. So maby the short races (less than 10 hours) should give lower points?
(maby i should be quiet: my two best results are in short races :P)

Race distance and time to complete is challenging as any race should be. Keep up the good work. Look forward to Route de Rumbe.

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Cocos to Sagar Island


Kapil Muni, incarnation of Lord Vishnu, founder of the Samkhya school of philosophy, disturbed from his meditation, in his wrath reduced the 60,000 sons of Sagar to ashes, as they dug the earth to retrieve the sacrificial horse that Lord Indra, the king of the Gods, stole off Sagar, thus creating the Sagara (ocean). Aeons later, Bhagiratha, a descendant of Sagara, asked Ganga to cleanse the ashes of the 60,000 princes, and her resultant torrential fall from heaven created the great river and where it met the ocean, the princes’ souls were washed and raised to heaven and Gangasagar (Sagar Island) was formed. So, let us join the pilgrimages to Kapi Muni’s Temple (see above) and race 2400nm from Cocos Island deep in the Sagara thence, in rather rapid Rapido 60s.
