The lonely southern latitudes have been uncharacteristically busy this season, between the Ocean Race’s mammoth Cape Town-to-Itajai leg, the final stretch of the Golden Globe’s southern trek, and a fleet that will be crossing its wake: the less well known but no less spirited Cape2Rio.
This east-to-west transatlantic fleet started in Cape Town, South Africa, on January 2,, an American Balance 526, and the Bazilian-flagged Outremer 51 —getting out ahead early.
