Event Description CSORC is entering a crew in the 2009 Fastnet Race - 1 crew vacany remaining
CSORC has regularly competed in this famous race and the coming year will be no exception. The race starts on Sunday August 9 2009 from Cowes. We still have one vacancy. The entry requirements for the skipper and crew include completing 300 qualifying miles so we are planning to compete in three of the RORC qualifying races. As these qualifiers provide ample opportunity for training and mile-building, enthusiasm and commitment are more important than depth of experience. We estimate that costs will be around £1500 per person which will cover the charter of the yacht for a training weekend, the three qualifying races and the Fastnet race itself. Five hundred pounds is payable before the le Havre race and the rest in instalments as each race approaches. We think this is excellent value for about 1000 miles of top-quality racing experience!
Civil servants may be eligible for special leave. If you are interested donʼt delay, please speak to Nick Bowles, 01483-306954 or see the CSORC website www.csorc.org for more information on costs, the qualifying race schedule and anything else that springs to mind.
