This prestigious World Sailing-recognised event will pitch mixed-gender double-handed teams to compete in a demanding series of offshore races aboard equipment-supplied Sun Fast 30 One Design boats.

Set in the historic sailing town of Cowes—home to one of the Royal Ocean Racing Club’s iconic clubhouses—the championship promises to offer a world-class race format.
