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.

Red Eye - Myth of Malham 2025

In 1947, Hugh McLean & Sons of Gourock, Scotland built a radical racing yacht for John Illingworth, soon-to-be Commodore of the RORC, to a design by Laurent Giles. With a masthead rig, giving her ‘free’ sail area per the rules of the time, and short overhangs reducing pitching, Myth of Malham went on to win The Fastnet that year and again in 1949, and to compete in numerous Admiral's Cups. In 1958, in honour of the yacht, the Myth of Malham race was conceived - a mini-Fastnet to the first lighthouse on a rock west of Cowes, Eddystone, rather than the second, to be held in non-Fastnet years. IRL this year it has been raced already, but this stops us not from “Red Eye” racing its online 230nm in Fareast 31Rs, leaving how to deal with the Isle of Wight open to your own discretion.

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu


The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
