The world's largest offshore racing series concludes this weekend with the Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC) Cherbourg Race, starting from Cowes on Friday 2nd September at 1800 BST.
81 teams are entered for the dash across The English Channel, the largest entry for the race in over 20 years.
After a hiatus in 2021, the RORC Season's Points Championship has come back with a bang. Over 400 teams from more than 30 different countries have competed in the 11-month series. Racing under the IRC and MOCRA Ratings plus the Class40 Rule, over 100 different boat designs have been in action. The RORC Season's Points Championship includes highly prized races from the UK to France, the Netherlands and Belgium plus international races with venues set in Malta, Lanzarote, Grenada, Antigua, Ireland, and Finland. The Cherbourg Race is the sixteenth and final race of the series.
With 81 teams set to race to Cherbourg, race fans in Cowes can watch the start from the Royal Yacht Squadron Line and vantage points along the Western Solent. Competing boats can be tracked using AIS data, when in range, via the YB tracker player: yb.tl/cherbourg2022
