Sail Shredded in Storm

Our latest OH CRAP moment hit us when a violent squall appeared out of nowhere in the darkness smashing our boat from the complete opposite wind direction, tearing our mainsail free of the boom allowing it to flap crazily amongst the rigging in the middle of a busy shipping lane. In treacherous conditions on deck, it had to be secured fast before it tore itself to pieces.

The Transatlantic Race 2025 is organized by the New York Yacht Club and the Royal Ocean Racing Club, with support from the Royal Yacht Squadron and the Storm Trysail Club. Six days into the West-East Transatlantic Race, Christian Zugel’s Volvo 70 Tschüss 2, co-skippered by Johnny Mordaunt, has raced over 2,000 miles and is the clear leader for both Monohull Line Honours and the overall IRC win. “For the first few days of the race, we had a variety of conditions, mainly driven by sea temperature changes. The plan is panning out—but everybody sticks to the plan until it punches you in the face,” commented Tschüss 2 navigator Campbell Field, taking nothing for granted. A standout feature of their progress has been precision navigation through the Gulf Stream’s meanders. “We picked up over three knots of current in one area and nearly four in another,” explains Field. “Sea temperature has been a big indicator—we saw it drop from 25°C to just under 8°C in a matter of hours.” Their 24-hour distance run has peaked at 491.5 nautical miles, averaging 20.5 knots. With 3.8 knots of favourable current and sustained speeds of 18–19 knots, they’re pushing hard. “We’re not cutting corners—we passed just a mile off Point Alpha,” says Field. “We’ve got 1,600nm to go, and anything can happen, but right now, we could beat the previous boat’s elapsed time.” That time—10 Days, 9 Hours, 1 Minute, and 42 Seconds—was set in 2019 by Wizard, now racing as Tschüss 2. Current projections show a finish nearly two days faster. Their main challenge is staying ahead of a cold front expected within 48 hours. “It’s all about placing ourselves on the leading edge. We’re running our own race, and if we stay smart, we’ll finish strong,” Field concluded. #rorcracing #TransatlanticRace #nyyc #ircrating

boma: (s.m.) (Alberatura e vele) boom Asta orizzontale utilizzata sui velieri per mantenere distesa una vela di tipo triangolare, normalmente una randa. Il boma della randa (o della trinchetta) è fissato all'albero con un perno rotante mentre l'altro capo ruota trattenuto da una cima (chiamata "scotta") permettendo di variare l'orientazione della vela rispetto al vento. Meno comune è l'uso del boma per le vele di prua (fiocco bomato, trinchetta bomata); in tal caso il boma è imperniato sul relativo strallo ed è regolato da una scotta. bonaccia: (s.f.) (Vento e Mare) calm, still weather Indica uno stato di calma del vento (e conseguentemente del mare). bora: (s.f.) (Vento e Mare) north-east wind Vento freddo ed impetuoso che soffia da Nord-Est nel Mar Adriatico, con la massima intensità nelle zone di Trieste e lungo le coste della Dalmazia (alta Croazia). Si genera a causa di forti differenze di temperatura tra le pianure dell'Europa Centrale (molto fredde) e l'Adriatico; è' frequente d'inverno ma talvolta spira anche d'estate, arrivando con incredibile rapidità e una forza tale da mettere in pericolo sia le imbarcazioni che le strutture portuali. bordame: (s.m.) (Alberatura e vele) foot Equivalente a "base" della vela.
