Biscay 2012 Offshore Race Opens

Entries are now open for the Royal Southern Yacht Club’s inaugural Biscay 2012 Offshore Race taking place from 16 - 29 September 2012.

The race is divided into three legs, over 950 nautical miles, from the Solent, UK to La Rochelle, France, onwards to Brest, France and back to the Solent with stopovers in La Rochelle and Brest.

Created as a legacy to members from the Royal Southern in its 175th Anniversary year and to be run as a biennial event, the race looks set to be a truly international event; expressions of interest have already been received from some 20 entries including crews from several overseas yacht clubs.
