Next Year is a Fastnet Year

2017 marks the next Fastnet Race – an offshore yacht race which takes place every other year off the South Coast.

Kicking off from Cowes on the Isle of Wight and terminating at Plymouth, Fastnet is a particularly challenging race, testing the boat and the crew, inshore and offshore skills and speed potential.

Fastnet Race

Once in a Lifetime Experience

Jump on board this once in a lifetime challenge that offers a great opportunity to meet other like minded people and put your sailing skills to the test. As part of this fantastic experience, you will get to crew a 72ft yacht that has raced around the world multiple times.

First Class Sailing are complete professionals at the Fastnet race and have entered for the past few years. If the Fastnet race has caught your attention we have a crew and a boat all ready to enter into the 2017 Fastnet race; a strong, solid performing yacht.

First Class Sailing are selling berths for people who want to be a part of the Rolex Fastnet Race next year. Once you’ve secured your place you’ll also benefit from:

  • A training weekend to familiarise yourself with the boat and your crew mates
  • Taking part in an ISAF Offshore Safety course including sea survival skills
  • Automatic entry into the 3 qualifying races (the Cervantes Trophy Race, the Myth of Malham Race and the Channel Race)
  • A crew jacket and polo shirt, insurance and all yacht expenses

Don’t Miss Out

The whole Campaign kicks off with the ISAF and Sea Survival weekend in London on 1st – 2nd April.

Do you think you have what it takes to race with the 300 other yachts and battle against the elements in the Rolex Fastnet 2017 race?
