Glamorous conditions on Good Friday! The first day of the RORC Easter Challenge was blessed with sparkling conditions in the Solent. A light gradient breeze from the south east built during the day to over 10 knots of pressure. Brilliant sunshine throughout the day added to the superb conditions. The RORC Race Committee led by Steve Cole held a number of practice starts, followed by three short, sharp windward leeward races. The coaching team out on the water giving competitors top advice included North Sails and a RORC team run by Andrew ‘Dog’ Palfrey. After racing, competitors enjoyed a free bowl of pasta and a beer before the well-attended coaching debrief at the RORC Cowes Clubhouse. “The coaching team have one overall goal and that is to help all the teams progress at an early stage in the season. The wind strength was better than expected, not especially shifty, but wind speed did vary,” commented North Sails’ Jeremy Smart. “In puffy conditions, anticipating the change becomes very important and we saw quite a few teams not foreseeing the change in gear, so that is definitely an area for them to work on.” Read more at https://bit.ly/3Ma4YG4 #RORCracing #RORCEasterChallenge #NorthSails 📸 RORC / Shaun Roster / Louay Habib
New episode! We make it to North Cape—without sails this time! As you know, we’re on our bike, and we’ve now officially reached 71° North. While we’re here at North Cape, we run into someone who biked all the way from Cape Town to here—Cape to Cape. Super impressive! After soaking in some absolutely stunning views, we head to Tromsø, a place we last visited after our Svalbard/Spitsbergen adventure—when we sailed all the way up to 80° North. Yeah, that was pretty epic too. We take a stroll along the dock and relive memories from sailing into Tromsø back in 2022 and longing to get back on the boat again!
