The Round Britain & Ireland Race will return in August 2026, marking 50 years since the Royal Ocean Racing Club first staged the event.
The 1,800-nautical-mile non-stop race starts and finishes in Cowes and is held once every four years.
The 2026 edition will be open to monohulls and multihulls under IRC and MOCRA, as well as IMOCA and Class40 entries.
The race starts on Sunday, 9 August 2026.
First run in 1976, the Round Britain & Ireland Race is widely regarded as one of offshore sailing’s toughest examinations.
For sure , its importance is simple. “If you love offshore sailing, you have to be on the start line.”
