With less than one month to go until entry opens for the 48th edition of the Rolex Fastnet Race, 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 5 minutes.

In order to secure a place when registration opens at 1000 UTC on Tuesday 12 January, it is recommended that you register your boat in advance on RORC's SailGate race entry management system.

A comprehensive Guide for Entrants is available on the Rolex Fastnet Race website to take competitors - whether race veterans or first timers - through the registration process, and the RORC Race Team are on hand to offer advice and assistance.

For further information go to www.rolexfastnetrace.com/en/enter-race or contact the RORC Race Team via or +44 (0)1983 295144.
