Fastnet Race
package: £2800
|
Join the East Anglian Sea School teams on this World famous ocean race in an attempt to match our class first achieved in 1999 and attempt to better our fifth in class in 2001, third in 2003 and finish in a very light wind race in 2005 . With our new Jeaneau 36 Performance and Jeaneau Sunfast yachts fitted with racing sails, we can compete with the best around. The Fastnet package we offer includes training sessions on ISAF racing crew qualification First Aid and Sea Survival, a briefing day to allocate crews to boats, two practice sessions and two RORC Qualifying races. These races are the RORC North Sea Race which tests the metal of all taking part and the RORC East Coast Race to determine final teams. As an extra opportunity we then have a further 220 mile race between the boats as they head towards Southampton a week before the Fastnet Race commences. |
