Cape Horn
Rounding the Horn from east to west, against the prevailing westerly trade winds, is sailing’s greatest challenge.
Sailing “round the Horn” — the southern tip of South America — continues to be one of the most challenging yet rewarding sailing journeys there is, inspired by sailors like Joshua Slocum and Sir Francis Chichester.
What makes it so demanding is its location in the high southern latitudes, where a storm can arrive with astonishing speed, bringing screaming winds and enormous, breaking swells.
Venturing the trip requires serious planning, deep experience managing a boat in open seas, and the courage to trust your boat and your skills to see you through.
