DESCRIPTION

Join Panda as we prepare for the renowned Fastnet Race, which takes place every two years from Cowes to Plymouth. This challenging offshore race, famous for its history and even a notable disaster, emphasizes the importance of weather forecasting and boat design advancements, including our Sigma 38. Despite its challenges, the Fastnet is now among the safest offshore races. With a rigorous training program, including RORC qualifying races and safety training, we are committed to ensure both safety and enjoyment in this shared competition.
