What year was the roaring forties discovered?
It is not possible to determine which year the 'Roaring Forties' (was) were discovered since they have existed at certain times of the year to a greater or lesser degree since pre-history. Their discovery by European sailors could only have come after Vasco da Gama rounded the Cape of Good Hope but Arab, Indian, Chinese, etc traders had been using the winds of the Indian Ocean to travel around the countries (lands?) bordering the Ocean for centuries before the advent of European navigation of the area. Dirk Hartog, (a Dutchman) is reputed to have 'discovered' Australia by being blown off-course in the 'Roaring-Forties' in 1616. There are reputed to be the ruins of Portuguese establishments along the east coast of Australia which pre-date Captain Cook's exploration of this area and were in contravention of the Spanish/Portuguese agreement to divide up the world (with papal agreement) into separate spheres of influence. These were supposed to have come about because it was easier to use the 'Roaring-Forties' to dash across to the east coast of Australia before sailing north to Portuguese settlements in the Indonesian archipelago rather than beating up the east coast of Africa before turning east. There are also reputed to be ancient maps in the possession of the Vatican which give evidence of these occurrences.
