Rolex Fastnet Preview

[ 07 / 08 / 2005 ]

On the back of a successful build up against Skandia Wild Thing during the week the EBS Yachting team are about to embark on what is one of the great offshore races.

The Fastnet is a biennial event that sees the fleet depart from Cowes out the Solent and across the often tempestuous Celtic Sea to the Fastnet Rock, and return on a reciprocal course to the finish off Plymouth.

A 608 mile passage that will see the lead monohulls chasing the record of 2 days, 5 hours, 8 minutes set in 1999, a record that is high in contrast to the inaugural Fastnet of 1925 which saw the winning boat complete the course in 6days, 14hrs and 45mins.

The Fastnet is an event that continues to grow in popularity as the years go by with the most recent (2003) event split into seven classes with a 245 strong fleet with Alfa Romeo claiming line honours in a thrilling finish at 19:12 in Plymouth on Tuesday evening beating Zephyrus V by just 10 minutes.

With two class boats such as ICAP Maximus and Skandia Wild Thing tipped to be the front runners of this rears event the finish could be just as thrilling. Keep up to date with all the action fro the 2005 event as we count down to the start for ICAP Maximus here this morning at 1210. Updates and position reports will be posted as soon as they become available.
