RORC Fastnet 2011
Starting from the Royal Yacht Squadron line at Cowes
Blue Ocean Sailing is delighted to announce they will be participating in The RORC Fastnet Race again in 2011.
This is a tough race of 608 miles non-stop from Cowes, around the Fastnet Rock in the middle of the Celtic Sea (off the coast of south-west Ireland) and then onto Plymouth.
Our campaign for this year is three qualifying races and one training weekend then the actual race. Dates for these are now confirmed as follows:
14-15th May
17-19th June
30th July
And we will have a back-up race just in case.
Brief Overview
Expected duration - obviously dependant on conditions, is between 4-5 days.
Places available - 9. This will give us an overall crew of 10 people.
Qualification/Training - the package includes three qualifying races + one training weekend. If you can't make all of the qualifiers this may not be a problem as long as half the crew complete the qualifiers. However, we would encourage you to sail all of the qualifiers to gain valuable experience.
Package includes:
All race entry fees - including qualifiers
All mooring fees
All food and soft drinks, whilst at sea, during race, qualifiers and training weekend.
Loan of full wet weather gear (if required).
