The North Pacific, the world’s largest and most remote ocean, is home to some of the most challenging conditions sailors can face. Clipper Race Crew making this crossing can expect enormous waves and huge weather systems, with hurricane Force 12 winds and waves of over 20 metres not uncommon. It is one of the most anticipated stages of the circumnavigation, with many previous adventurers, returning for more.
The Mighty Pacific Leg of the Clipper Race faces this very crossing and offers unbelievably fast and unique sailing from Asia to the West Coast of the United States,
For the Race Crew currently facing this very challenge, Mark Light, Clipper Race Director says: “The crossing ahead will be huge. The Pacific Ocean is the biggest body of water on Earth, and the crew can expect huge depressions that will roll across every few days, making for huge waves and strong winds - you will not get sailing like this anywhere else in the world.
"It’s one of the most inhospitable environments, and a place that not many people get to go, let alone sail across. It’s hostile, but beautiful at the same time, and the crew can look forward to some really exhilarating sailing on this race.”
Race 10: Sailing City · Qingdao Cup started on 24 March 2022, from the Philippines, and is 6,100nm and expected to take 30 days, with the eleven strong Clipper Race fleet due to arrive in Seattle between 16-21 April 2022.

I went across the vast Pacific Ocean. I was very fortunate to be on a USN ship, during peacetime. USS Mars, 375 ft of steel. We went through some wicked bad storms. I'm a coastal sailor in NJ since I was a kid. I didn't get sea sick. I was happy that I was on the top deck, (I was a Signalman). I'm amazed watching these very tough and well skilled sailors. Fair winds and seas to you all!

I sail a dinghy on Texas lakes. I've become fascinated with sailing in colder regions (coastal), but I don't think I'd make that crossing.

It builds up so fast. And laughs in the face of countermeasure wash down .

The horror for the crew of Alpha Foxtrot 586 that had to ditch their P-3 aircraft in the north pacific and those who survived waiting hours for rescue during the night.

Having been in 38m heaving in north Atlantic, yes they are big waves. Having been in 170mph winds in the south china seas, yes they are big winds.... seeing a concrete jetty moving in front of you with each pounding wave in typhoon south china sea off Hainan Island... yes never disrespect the sea

Tidakkah kamu perhatikan, bagaimana mereka mengarungi lautan (samudra) dengan nikmat Allah (QS). Kenapa kata yang dipilih itu kata "nikmat", bukan misalnta "kuasa"?
