Registration for the 49th Rolex Fastnet Race begins at 1000 UTC on Tuesday 12th January 2021.
The RORC Race Team are concerned there will be a repeat of the 2019 rush to enter when the race became oversubscribed in less than five minutes.
A new era will begin for the world’s largest offshore yacht race this year. On 8 August 2021, the Rolex Fastnet Race will set sail from Cowes bound for the Fastnet Rock as usual, but then, once the boats have rounded Bishop Rock, they will, for the first time in the race’s 96 year history, point their bows towards Cherbourg, the new finish for the Royal Ocean Racing Club’s premier event.
In order to secure a place when registration opens at 1000 UTC on Tuesday 12 January, RORC recommends registering boats in advance on RORC's SailGate race entry management system.
The 2021 race sails a new course with a finish in Cherbourg.
