Bermuda 1-2 | video from the solo leg

Here’s some video from leg one of Bermuda 1-2. My full race report is here.

Thanks Billy!

Sometimes things come full circle. One of the reasons I got into sailing, especially offshore racing, was all the fantastic photos from offshore races around the world. When I was young, magazines like Yachting World and Segling inspired me to get onto big boats and do longer races. One of those amazing photographers was Billy […]

Sweet… J/121 Alchemy

Det är alltid intressant att se hur folk med koll sätter upp sina båtar. På Bermuda 1-2 så är ju många dedikerade soloseglare, som kört många race men också har ambitioner om längre och tuffare race. En av dessa är David Southwell som har ambitionen att segla OSTAR (Plymouth-Newport) och han har ju satt upp […]

Then there’s my, subjective and emotional, version. And they don’t really match… The data says it was a four-day rather tough […]

Solo to Bermuda – how to follow

Friday, June 2:nd 11:00 EDT, Bermuda 1-2 starts in Newport. 630 nm to Bermuda, across the Gulf Stream, solo. Will probably take 4 days. Feels like a pretty big challenge to me, as I’ve never raced here and this is the longest solo race I’ve done, Weather is still uncertain, but it is what it […]
