In its centenary year, the Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC) is to present its annual Easter Challenge at Cowes.
For over 20 years, the RORC has held a training regatta over the Easter Weekend. World Sailing Rules on outside assistance are relaxed and for no additional cost to the teams, coaches can provide pin-point assistance to get crews of any level up to speed.
A 3 days of racing are organised in The Solent from Good Friday to Easter Sunday and as with all RORC racing the Cowes Clubhouse is open for all competitors. Entries are still coming in and over 200 sailors are expected for this year’s Easter Challenge.
After racing every day there will be video debriefs from the RORC Coach Team supported by North Sails plus the chance for crews to get together in the new clubhouse.
Racing will be in IRC Rated Classes for Grand Prix racers, Cape 31s and HP30 Classes, plus a range of performance racer-cruisers. While the regatta attracts some professional teams, the vast majority are passionate corinthian crews looking to sharpen their skills.
Following challenging racing on the water the traditional prizes of Easter Eggs as well as trophies will be presented.
