Held off the coast of Great Britain, the race that gave birth to the Royal Ocean Racing Club in 1925 has grown to become the world’s largest offshore race. The centenary edition will start from Cowes on 26 July 2025, finishing, for the third time, in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, France. A 695-mile course.
The race begins on the iconic starting line of the Royal Yacht Squadron in Cowes, on the Isle of Wight. After exiting the Solent through the Needles Channel, the fleet heads west along the English Channel, rounding Land’s End before crossing the Celtic Sea. The turning point is the legendary Fastnet Rock, off the southwestern coast of Ireland. On the return leg, the course passes the Isles of Scilly before finishing in Cherbourg.
