Race for UCD03 Albatroz by UCDs Club

for Individual sailors and teams

A navigation-focused crossing through one of the most remote island chains in the South Atlantic.
This race will be sailed without GPS. But don’t worry — the South Sandwich Islands form a relatively connected chain, with islands often visible from one another in good conditions, making this an accessible and enjoyable introduction to chart-based navigation.
A chance to sail closer to the geography itself. Reading the sea, the islands, the distances, the bearings, and the weather — instead of simply following a line on a screen.
Cold waters, volcanic landscapes, shifting winds, and long southern light.
See you soon in the South Sandwich Islands.
