RORC Channel Race Preview

J/105 sailing offshore (Cowes, IOW, England)- The RORC Channel Race Starts Saturday August 4th, it's a "flex-course" race designed to last 24 - 36 hours, starting and finishing in the Solent.

With just two races left in the RORC Season's Points Championship, the 10 race series that started back in February is heading for a dramatic conclusion. Three yachts are contesting the overall victory and several classes still hang in the balance; with a French and Dutch team contesting the overall with a Two-Handed British boat also looking for a fairy tale end to the season-- it's Nick Martin's J/105 DIABLO-J that is still very much in the hunt for an overall win (photo is colleague- Voador- doing what J/105s do best offshore!).  We wish the Martin's God Speed, fair winds and a running tide!
