Like no other race the Rolex Fastnet Race attracts every type of sailor and boat from just about every sailing country in the world. From corporate institutions, family owned and crewed cruiser-racers, dedicated amateurs, club sailors to the hardened champions from the Grand Prix circuits, all are attracted to battle the elements and compete in the most famous offshore race in the world. It is an adventure, but not for the faint hearted. And you can take part….

Ocean racing is a true test of physical and mental endurance. The Rolex Fastnet Race covers 600 miles of ocean and will push even the most experience yachtsmen to their limit.
