Silverrudder Challenge of the Sea 2024

For the ninth year, Sailonline is thrilled to be partnering with Denmark’s Svendborg Amatør Sejlklub for the annual and demanding inshore race circumnavigating the Danish island of Funen—the "Silverrudder - Challenge of the Sea". Since its inception in 2012, this race has grown to become the world’s largest single-handed yacht race, testing the endurance and skill of sailors from around the globe.

This year’s participant list showcases a strong turnout, with 421 boats preparing to take on the challenge. Among them, Sailonline’s own Seascape 18 solo polar will be in direct competition with the real-world fleet of Seascapes and Beneteau First 18s, providing a thrilling simulation for our virtual sailors.

Sailonline’s race will open for pre-race practice on 16 September at 08:30 UTC and will begin alongside the real fleet on Friday, 20 September 2024 at 08:30 UTC.

Commentary

Another ARQ3 race behind us. This time the Celtic Sea was kind to our crews and didn't show its fangs. The wind gods also took care of stable weather. All this meant that the race practically took place at the very beginning before entering the open water behind Pointe du Raz. WRmirekd gradually built up his advantage over extremely dangerous opponents rafa, mb007 and FreyjaUSA. WR probably finished his IRL cruise and started to rebuild his position after the weak previous stage :-). Congratulations Gentlemen!

Commentary

It's probably the holiday season and the time when most of our SOLers sail IRL that caused the number of participants in our races to decrease significantly. Only 75 yachts showed up at the start and only 64 finished the race. There were some changes in the classification. But this is not the end of the ARCH series. In the meantime, congratulations to bonknhoot, Vida_Maldita and CriticalHippo, but also to those who found themselves just behind the podium but fought bravely until the end: Go4iT, FreyjaUSA, Siaki, mb007.

Commentary

92 boats set sail on time. All in all, 142 participated and 110 of them reached the finish line (at the time of writing).

All boats started on a broad starboard reach, heading for open water. The fleet was more or less gathered on a unanimous front until the end of day two. At this point there was a notable split in the fleet, resulting in two predominant strategies, in which the "usual suspects" were equally represented. The western party, obviously routing on long term forecast, expecting a favourable condition at a later stage of the race. They suffered a substantial loss over the next 16 days. At this point the forthcoming winner was 442 nm behind the leader. From that point onwards the Westerners narrowed the gap fast, catching up in less than 5 days, overtaking the lead on day 24. The "winner" of the eastern party ended up on #14, 8 hours behind the winner.

The winning strategy seemed to be a combination of the two main strategies, as the winner Olev, started out with the eastern party, but gradually slipped over, joining the western party on day 14.

This was indeed a long and challenging race, both in time and distance. Looking ahead, it may be wise to consider faster vessels in such a long race.

Round Greenland 2024

Just as Skip Novak was embarking for Kamchatsky, Amyr Klink also quietly slipped his Antarctica moorings and by now Paratii 2 has reached Reykjavik, where he invites you to join him on Leg 5 of our High Latitudes Series, a full 3650nm circumnavigation of Greenland. The course is clockwise round, so down the North Atlantic to Cape Farewell, then up the Davis Strait into Baffin Bay and on into the Arctic Ocean proper, where, hopefully and certainly virtually, Paratii 2’s special ice-breaker features will get us thorough the summer ice out onto the Greenland Sea and back to Reykjavik. Stay warm!
