It is 60 nautical miles from Puerto Williams in the Beagle Channel to Cape Horn. We refuelled by hand on site so that the helicopter and photographer had more time with the boats at sea. And it was worth it: Rick Tomlinson brings back impressive material from the teams' rounding of Cape Horn.

There is something magical about Cape Horn for sailors. When you look at the photos, you know why.
