OSTAR Qualifier
This coming weekend Ninjod and I make our first and hopefully last attempt at a qualification cruise for next years OSTAR race. We have to sail 500 nautical miles non stop without aid from anyone else.
The plan originally was to sail to Oslo but as with all plans this year this was subject to change. Consequently now the qualification cruise will now start and finish just outside of Suffolk Yacht Harbour with points in between dictated by weather and conditions. Texel and somewhere north of Bridlington are current favorites.
I plan to send position reports each day at midday and these will be found here..

If you have not qualified for the OSTAR, would you be interested in doing the Royal Southampton YC Double Handed Race to northern Spain, starting from the Solent on Saturday 13 June next year?
500+ miles non stop and open to IRC; Class 40; Mini Transat and MOCRA multihulls.
Let me know if you would like more details.
Regards Roger
