Organised by the Royal Ocean Racing Club since 1929, the Cowes Dinard St Malo Race is a true RORC Classic. For the 2024 edition over 100 boats will be in action, crewed by over 500 sailors from at least 18 different countries.
Starting from the Royal Yacht Squadron Line, Cowes, IOW from 1100 BST on Friday 5th July, a magnificent spectacle can be watched from The Parade, Cowes.
This year's race is also the first scoring race for the IRC Double-Handed European Championship. The two-handed teams come from all over Europe and the United States.
The Cowes Dinard St Malo Race is part of the RORC Season's Points Championship, the world's largest offshore racing series. Dating back to 1906, the Cowes Dinard St Malo Race precedes all of the world's famous 600-mile races including the Fastnet Race. In recent years the RORC race to St Malo has become one of the world's most popular offshore yacht races.
The RORC Cowes Dinard St Malo Race awards a plethora of prestigious prizes to IRC Classes, MOCRA Multihulls and special awards. The overall winner under IRC receives the King Edward VII Challenge Cup, originally donated by His Majesty in 1906. Once at the finish, competitors can enjoy the party atmosphere of Bastille Day as celebrations begin in the historic walled city, culminating in a superb firework display.
