The Royal Cornwall Yacht Club is delighted to officially launch its multi-national AZAB '27 event, offering sailors the opportunity to take part in a challenging but affordable two leg race from Falmouth Harbour (UK) to Ponta Delgada in the Azores and back.
Open to both single and double-handed crews, this race is designed to embrace the true spirit of "Corinthian" sailing with its focus on camaraderie, adventure and the joy of competition.
"It's fantastic to begin the countdown for the next AZAB race now, in the year we celebrate 50 years since we ran the first event in 1975," says RCYC Commodore Shane Carr. "It's a unique event held every four years - the only ocean race to start and finish in the UK - and it's a part of the Club's heritage that we are so proud of."
Already 49 skippers have expressed an intention to compete, representing eight nations and including at least five previous competitors. The 'Notice of Race' is now available on the AZAB website :- www.azab.co.uk and the RCYC is looking forward to a strong fleet of entries.
