Globe Race Report: San Francisco to Valparaiso – A Test of Endurance!
The Pacific Challenge concludes (for most!) as the fleet touches down in Chile.
After nearly two months at sea, the leaders of the MarineVerse Globe Beta fleet have arrived in Valparaiso, Chile. Launching from San Francisco on September 22, 2025, this race was a true test of patience, routing strategy, and beta-testing resilience. ( See leaderboard )
Unlike short regattas, the Globe requires 24/7 vigilance, real-time weather routing, and the mental fortitude to handle the Doldrums. From navigation by stars to coding custom VMG calculators, this leg showcased the incredible depth of our community.
