With less than a month to go until registration is open for the 2025 Rolex Fastnet Race, the Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC), has published the Notice of Race.

The Royal Ocean Racing Club celebrates its centenary year in 2025 and the 100th anniversary edition of the Rolex Fastnet Race will be the centrepiece of an unforgettable racing season.

In addition to the broad details of the event, the NOR includes its full schedule, from registration opening at 1000 UTC (1100 French time) on Wednesday, 15 January 2025, to the start date of Saturday 26 July.

Prior to registration opening on 15 January, competitors are advised to set up or review their accounts at SailRaceHQ.com.

Based on previous editions of the Rolex Fastnet Race, the entry list is expected to be filled within minutes of registration opening, with latecomers going on to a waiting list. However, as usual, RORC members will be given priority entry and a discounted entry fee, although this applies only to boat owners and skippers who are members.

The Rolex Fastnet Race is the world's largest offshore yacht race. This is largely because of it being open to the complete cross section of the sailing community; from first timers, family, club and sailing school teams, to IRC racers, doublehanders and multihulls, to the professional entries such as IMOCAs. It offers the unique experience of amateurs being on the same starting line as some of the sport's most high profile teams and crews.
