Offshore Races

RORC is the principal organiser of offshore races in the UK, including the Fastnet; JOG (Junior Offshore Group) also organise many racing events. A number of crews participating in these races will be from LCSC, either in whole or in part. The club always takes an active part in offshore racing with many teams campaigning each year for the Fastnet race.

This section contains current events the club is participating in, with bookings available through the offshore race calendar, or by clicking on the event on the menu.

LCSC crews have had many successes in previous years, including the odd first in class and many Fastnet campaigns completed. (A number of miles in RORC races is needed to qualify for the Fastnet race; these crews stick together for a campaign beginning early in the year and leading up to the Fastnet race itself).

For the full programme of their offshore races see the Royal Ocean Racing Club and JOG websites. LCSC crews have also taken part in other offshore races organised abroad, such as the Rolex Middle Sea Race.

Brief descriptions of the clubs offshore programme and reports of some of the previous entries and the remainder of the RORC and JOG events available on the menu. The exact programme in which LCSC will be participating varies from year to year. See Race crews pages for information about how to get involved in offshore races in the current year.

If any particular event interests you that we are not currently participating in, please contact Trudy Netherwood, as the club may be able to put together an entry with sufficient demand.
