Royal Ocean Racing Club was formed in 1925 and is one of the oldest and most prestigious yacht racing clubs. It organises most of the most difficult offshore races in UK and offers unique experience to crews and skippers, from shorter exciting races across the Channel, to totally brutal Fastnet campaigns. Tonnes of adrenaline guaranteed, we are there to win and with your help, we might just do it! Mostly run over the weekend, these races will give you a chance to switch off from everyday routine, learn new skills and test yourself against the elements. No experience is necessary, our professional skipper and first mate will teach you everything you need to know.

IMPORTANT: Safety of crew and the vessel are of paramount importance to us. Therefore, we reserve the right to withdraw from a race should the skipper believe that safety may be compromised. We race in most conditions, however offshore racing can be lively and we do place your and our safety first and foremost.
