Channel Race 2023
The Chanel race takes places two weeks prior to Fastnet. This is a great opportunity to polish you skills ready for fastnet, or to learn and develop your skills in a highly competitive race of 110- 160 n.miles around the Isle of Wight and marks in the Solent.
We recommend you arrive the day/night before
Yachts in terrible condition !
Be extremely wary of this so called 'academy'. SY Sao Jorge had significant repairs done to keel and mast (with plate added to mast !). Owner of this UK flagged vessel refused to share the (by UK Lawrequired) certificates with regards to these 'fixes'. In my perception, the owner is just some random English guy that bought worn down and damaged yachts, trying to make easy and quick money, at the expense and risk of skippers and paying passengers.
