During the race, the course included a natural obstacle — a small, rocky island. The depths were safe, and the skipper decided to take a tight line around it. But just behind the island, the wind shifted unexpectedly, and a sudden gust drove the yacht’s bow straight toward the rocks. With minimal room to maneuver, the skipper reacted quickly and managed to regain control. However, in the process of steering clear, the keel scraped against the rocks. The result: a few scratches and the loss of half the team’s security deposit. A hard lesson learned — always keep a safe distance from the rocks! #PAPARegatta #PAPARegatta2021 #TheArtOfSailing #ArtOfSailing #DangerousRocks #RocksCrash #CroatiaSailing #CroatiaYachting #SailingRace #SailingFails

Typically, our first Wrangel Island departure, 'Chukotka: Where Russia's Day Begins' includes a day at the annual Beringia Arctic Games and Chukotka Cultural Festival. This colourful event brings together and celebrates the indigenous communities of Siberia. Traditional song and dance performances grace the stage, whale-skin boat regattas are held, and artisans display carved bones, fur hats, beaded clothing and other hand-made art. Men compete in wrestling and weight lifting, and teams battle for a tug-of-war win.

We visited the Doyle Sails loft to chat to apprentice Alison Kent. She spoke about the work, and the pathways to becoming a pro-sailor.

My Babe gets nervous as we sail under a bridge, and we get a little close to the bridge sides. I was just practicing if there was an oncoming boat.
