Rolex Fastnet Race - an epic challenge

The biennial Rolex Fastnet Race is one of yachting’s ultimate challenges. On this epic 608-nm course, the endurance and sailing skills of both the professional and Corinthian crews are severely tested as they race across the English Channel and Celtic Sea, before turning at the Fastnet Rock and heading back to the finish line in Plymouth. The 2019 edition gathered a record international fleet of 388 yachts, with American monohull Wizard taking overall honours. Rolex has supported the race since 2001 as part of its enduring partnership with yachting dating back more than six decades. Discover more on.rolex.com/2nu9TeZ
