Sunday, January 4, 2026 \u2013 The Pacific Ocean is getting closer!<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two days to go before Cape Horn<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The all-female crew has regained good speed after a slower passage through the so-called transition zone, with little wind, behind a high-pressure center moving northward.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They patiently positioned their Maxi Trimaran by performing four gybes on Saturday, January 3, in time with the wind, in order to reach more turbulent areas and continue to gain ground southward toward the famous Cape Horn, now 1,100 miles away, which will force them to reach 56 degrees south latitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Sunday, January 4, The Famous Project CIC will take advantage of a new low-pressure system to lengthen its stride, heading due east and sailing as long as possible in the northwesterly winds before another gybe behind the front. The latest routings proposed by Christian Dumard suggest a passage on Tuesday, January 6, as close as possible to the famous rock that each of the girls, from the most experienced in these waters, Dee Cafarri, to the rookie Rebecca Gmuer, hopes to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

56 degrees south latitude: there is no land on this parallel; it crosses only the ocean. At this latitude, the sun is visible for 17 hours and 37 minutes during the December solstice and for 6 hours and 57 minutes during the June solstice.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
