    Aaron

    I am so shocked, that I cannot find words, yet I must. I feel crippled by sadness, and tears run down my face as I write this.

    Thankyou. With your help, I learnt very quickly how to sail successfully in SOL. You helped me to understand how to be in the rat-pack, not just by following one of the leaders, but by making decisions for myself.

    I wondered why you had not moved forward from the start on your last race. I wondered why I had not seen you online, why you were absent from races. You were a constant presence, and it is sorely missed.

    Your willingness to help us newbies to sail better, your advise to help us learn how to be better sailors IRL, your willingness to take time out of your busy life to chat on skype. Your wonderful SOLing tools. Your passion.

    So many people live their lives in desperate mediocrity, but not you Aaron - you lived your life with passion.

    As a mother, my heart goes out to your mother. To loose a child is just wrong . . . and to loose a son with your passion for life, unimaginable.

    My condolences to your family Aaron, for your loss must be felt very keenly indeed.

    Blessed be my friend
    May fair winds and following seas be with you always.
    Merran

Tobruk to Iskenderun 2026

Welcome to the fourth of our nine races across the length and breadth of the Magical Mediterranean Sea, and the second that is not in partnership with a real-life event, this time for good reason, which we won’t get into here. From Tobruk to Iskenderun it’s 670nm in length, with the added complication that the island of Cyprus will be in your way. Hoping, possibly forlornly, for plenty of downwind sailing, we’ll take the Lagoon 55 for the voyage!

Tasmania to Kamchatka 2026

Welcome to yet another all-new route. Tasmania to Kamchatka, part of our Ocean Championship and also the third leg of the ROW (Round the Old World) series. Be aware of the obstacles on the way, likely to split the fleet. It's like X:mas to X:mas, crossing the same waters, navigating the same archipelagos. This second race of OCQ2 2026 will be sailed in our revised 'version 2' Imoca 60 Foil. Race #2031
