Taking place every two years (when the year is an odd year), The Rolex Fastnet is a classic offshore race that is challenging and known to test both inshore and offshore skills. In order to race in the Fastnet you have to complete a number of qualifying events, all of which are included in our package, as well as a practice weekend.
The Rolex Fastnet is an iconic amateur/pro racing event. Raced over 608 nautical miles this is a demanding and exciting race. The Race starts from Cowes, on the Isle of Wight and travels west, leaving the Solent and travelling through The Needles channel.
Following the South coastline of England down the English Channel, crossing the Celtic Sea and rounding the Fastnet Rock off the southwest coast of Ireland. The Race returns the same route rounding the Isles of Scilly and finally finishing in Plymouth.
