📍 Hamble - Cowes
For any of you looking for your final chance to race and party at RORC Cowes this year, this is your opportunity!* This one day race was introduced for the RORC Centenary, the Pursuit Race but as it was so popular it’s remained on the programme.
*We will have other non-RORC races available in autumn.
We’d love to have you join us onboard for this cracking weekend of racing, socialising and Sunday cruising!
THE EVENT
On the water this event typically has one race on Saturday, giving IRC boats the chance to race directly against one another, the lower rated starting first, faster boats setting off in pursuit.
The action will continue ashore at the RORC Cowes Clubhouse, where the race will be followed by supper and end of season prize giving.

The race time depends on the weather forecast heavily but in our experience, with the early morning start, usually just over 24 hours to the Eddystone lighthouse if the wind is a usual Westerly, and faster on the way back downwind.
