by Roger Townsend 28 Dec 2012 13:06 GMT 14 June 2013

JOG's inaugural 1000 mile BNY Mellon Challenge from Cowes to Cascais due to start on 14 June has been boosted by the announcement that the Single Handed Offshore Racing Club (SORC) intend to run a single handed return race back from Cascais to Falmouth. This will start on the day after the BNYMC final party in Cascais.

Roger Townsend, BNY Mellon Challenge Race Director commented: "The level of interest in the second Leg of our race from La Trinite to Cascais is already very encouraging, but I welcome being able to work with SORC to build entry levels for both races still further".

Entry forms for both races will be available in January, but for further details please visit www.jog.org.uk and www.offshoresolo.com or to register your interest in competing, please contact
