We already have an ocean race pre-Christmas so we need a date in Jan/Feb (or end Dec).. there's got to be one!

I think long ocean races are good in Dec/Jan - folks are on Christma/New Year / ski/other vacations so a long race keeps folks in touch :-)

Would this be longer than any previous races here?
I'd be up for the slog!

Here is the first leg of the mutineers, which was from Tonga to French Polynesia. I've suggested using Steinlager II as a modern boat a similar length to the HMS Bounty.

Given the recent loss of the vessel and some crew, would suggest making this a memorial race, something like the A3. Perhaps, after the appropriate interval, even contact the Tall Ship Bounty organization(www.tallshipbounty.org) and ask if a memorial race would be of interest to bring together the organization as a way of remembering the vessel and crew? Would cite our ongoing relationship with other Tall Ship organizations. Their website has been suspended at the moment but there may be others ways of contacting them in the future.

Suggest getting a polar for the Bounty herself instead of a modern platform.

Just a thought.

Good idea SP. Might be worth adding more legs to include the passage from the UK out to the Pacific.

I feel such action would be ill advised, seeing as they have taken down their website and we have no connection to any of the individuals involved. Just saying keep the original historical perspective.

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
