By mid-July, I will have sailed over 1,600 nm and well prepared for the longest race of the year. The Les Sables-d’Olonne-Azores-Les Sables-d’Olonne (SAS) is a 2,600 nm solo race with two stages. This is a serious ocean race with the closest mainland being Portugal, about 800 nm to the east of the Azores.
