The Rolex Fastnet Race is a world-renowned offshore yacht race that takes place every two years in the United Kingdom. It is organised by the Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC) and attracts some of the best sailors and yachts from around the world.
The race typically starts in Cowes on the Isle of Wight, and in 2021, the finish line moved from Plymouth, UK, to Cherbourg, France. The race is known for its challenging conditions, with sailors having to navigate around the Fastnet Rock off the coast of Ireland before heading back to England.
Over the years, the race has seen many exciting finishes and has established itself as one of the premier offshore yacht races in the world. With 2023 being the 50th edition of this offshore epic, the race committee are expecting it to be one to remember.
