Not Syria.

As far as I know it is the largest fleet of Rockets so far. But where?

Does the yacht have anything to do with the Cape to Rio race?

Yes. You're on the right track, even a wandering albatross too finds land eventually. But it is not cape town or Rio de Janeiro

There is a photograph in the Maritime Museum in Knysna which shows the Thesen Boatyard team celebrating the launching of the Albatros II on 14 November 1970.

Spot on, you might have noticed I dropped the boat name in a clue earlier.

Since the 2023 cape to Rio starts in under a month it seemed a fitting photo to use the winner of the inaugural winner

Yes, I missed the Albatross clue at first but once I realized it could be a clue the rest was comparatively easy. Good puzzle.

 

[tillerman]
