Now that would be something. In an event that that it matters naught if the event actually happens, all down to you and yer boat

Who's going?

The race is open to sailing monohulls with no size restriction. Stops are allowed for temporary repairs or to find accessible shelter in very severe weather conditions. Use of engine is allowed for safety reasons.No time limit…You are the only judge on boardNo awards neither medals…just the satisfaction and humbleness of being one of the few sailors to have accomplished its dream!

I don't get that. Why say

and then talk about rules involving engine use and allowed stops.

If there's no prizes, why do you need rules?

Rules define the challenge. No prizes does not mean no winner.

Don't know, I didn't really pay much attention to many of the words, I've been in the southern ocean for a little while

I didn't see a race with rules, more an excuse or a reason to go

Who could do it? My boat could, heavy steel cutter 33, a year isn't really that long to get sorted, but oh to dream........

Old Varnish? Any thoughts?

I am considering a challenge to tcm's fantastic circumnavigation by the traditional route which he completed in less than one year.

By challenge, I mean try to beat it.
