This is the ninth edition of the Midsummer Solo Challenge. It’s something out of the ordinary for those who want to sail 120+ nm solo in one of the worlds most beautiful (and challenging) archipelagoes.

This at a time of year when the nights are warm and the sun barely sets (the photo above is from just before midnight).

IT'S SIMPLE

Come with any boat you want. No ratings. No difficult rules. You just have to know how long it is. And have some basic safety equipment.

Show up on the starting line.
