Cape2Rio race
I am thrilled to announce that I will be participating in the Cape2Rio race in 2025! Lifgun and myself will participate in the single handed division.
One of the biggest challenges I face, aside from the race itself, is the journey to get my boat to the starting line in Cape Town. Before the race even begins (December 27’th 2025), I will need to sail my Pegasus 50 from Slovenia to Cape Town. This leg of the journey will test my skills and endurance, it will be a big challenge to sail down to Cape Town for the second time.
The Cape2Rio race is not just a test of sailing prowess; it’s an opportunity to experience the beauty of the ocean and the thrillof competition. I am looking forward to the challenges and triumphs that await me on this remarkable journey.
Stay tuned for updates as I prepare for this unforgettable experience!

RORC Caribbean 600 race
An epic sailrace. And we are part of it.
The RORC Caribbean 600 is truly an international affair, with over 500 sailors taking part from over 25 different countries. The first warning signal will sound at Fort Charlotte for an epic race featuring a highly competitive and varied fleet of IRC Offshore boats, Class40s and Multihulls. We not sailed like superstars, but we had a lot of fun. Marko Pas the designer and builder of Pegasus 50 and myself managed to catch the second place in the double handed divison...and as said : Lot’s of fun......
Here a quote from the organizers :
Verdier 54 Notre Mediterranee - Ville de Nice (FRA) sailed by Fabien Biron & Pim Nieuwenhuis romped home in the double-handed class completing the course in an elapsed time of 02 days 17 hrs 15 mins 15 secs and taking the win after IRC time correction. Markus Moser’s Pegasus 50 Lifgun (SUI) racing with Marco Pas was runner up. Szymon Kuczynski’s Figaro 1 Hultaj (POL) racing with Anna Jastrzębska was third.
