CHALLENGE 2000

ROYAL OCEAN RACING CLUB

NON STOP ROUND BRITAIN & IRELAND

 

The Round Britain & Ireland Race will certainly be a tough challenge for experienced and novice sailors alike, more testing than the famous Fastnet Race but we expect it to be an adventure of a lifetime. This race is 1760 nautical miles and with so many headlands to round and bays to cross it will be an extremely interesting experience for all concerned.

 

Windward Sailing has had many years of experience in organising crews for the Fastnet Race and specialises in high performance yachts. We would expect to finish the Round Britain Race three clear days ahead of most rival charter yachts.

 

After a very successful 1999 racing season we are offering individual crew places on our Corby 45 race boat "INCISOR" which was designed and built for us two years ago specifically for offshore racing and has won various Royal Ocean Racing Club trophies with individual charter crews onboard. An information sheet on Incisor is attached.

 

The Royal Ocean Racing Club has very stringent rules to ensure the safety of competing yachts and their crews. They insist that competitors in the Round Britain and Ireland Race have taken part in either the 1999 Fastnet, or three hundred miles of offshore racing since August 1999 in the competing yacht. Windward Sailing has a full racing calendar and potential crew members who need to gain the required experience can take part in any of the RORC races listed in our attached Race Calendar and benefit from a 30% discount on the prices listed.

 

The yacht will have a fully qualified skipper and mate who have between them successfully competed in ten or more Fastnet Races. They have extensive knowledge of the boat and all aspects of offshore yacht racing. Full training is given both before and during the race. Our aim is, that at the end of the campaign all crew members will have the ability and confidence to step on to any race yacht and become a key member of any team, be it helming, sail trimming or navigation. The skipper will be happy to pass on any knowledge he has gained through thousands of miles ocean racing.

 

The race starts from and finishes at Cowes on the Isle of Wight and the course distance is reckoned to be approximately 1760 nautical miles, based on Incisors' time to complete the Fastnet Race we should take twelve days to finish the Round the Round Britain Race.
