I allowed myself to post it in a separate post because up until now I did not realize how interesting the story of a sailor who had experienced the Rolex regatta from the beginning to its end sounds. These are the thoughts on the white sheet of paper. There is no analog. It's worth a read. I wrote, but I didn't even half know what it really was until I read this text ......... Wednesday night around 11:00 pm We finished. #RolexMiddleSeaRace !!! With 4d 11h 8m 31s for us it was a relatively slow race (606 miles). Maarrrrr ... for many others even slower, so we are quite proud of our result! - 5th in ORC4 and 10th ORC overall (out of 69) - 8th in IRC4 and 21st…

In the foreword, we will share brief information about the yacht Africana and its skipper Laurentiu Gaitán, who for the second year is in a row launched in the Rolex Middle Sea race regatta after his success last year in her.

The yacht competes in IRC / ORC Class 4 / 12:00 hrs /, along with the other 2 Romanian yachts - Setsail and Quebramar. (more…)

So the regatta is almost over - some are happy, others are not. This is the race ! (more…)

At the sunny weather, the 40th edition of the Rolex Middle sea race 2019 was launched on Saturday 19 October in the capital Valletta. A fleet of 113 yachts, divided into 7 classes, set out on their way to 606 nautical miles in a very light northern breeze, which was the reason for the difficult start of the race. In the windless, the first warning signal was fired from the guns of the congratulatory battery, with some concern in the multi-hulls that had escaped when their class started. And it affected on the latest competitor - Outremer 55, Asia (ITA), which took about 40 minutes to reach the breakwater. (more…)
