| Rolex Fastnet Race 2009 |
The biannual Rolex Fastnet Race is one of the worlds classic offshore races. The 608 mile course takes you along the South coast of England, out past Lands End towards the Fastnet Rock Lighthouse, off the coast of Ireland. The return leg to Plymouth via Bishops Rock is just as challenging and exciting as your final race position will still be very much up for grabs.
Impression Sailing focuses on the sailing, not the blurb, as such our fleet of privately owned boats are maintained to a far higher standard than many company-owned charter boats. Having the right boat, right sails and right equipment is crucial in a challenging and extreme race like the Fastnet. Included within Impression Sailings fleet of race prepared 40.7s are the three leading boats in the country.
