The Fastnet Race 2011 - On Board and Up Close

Another passion of me, next to wine making at our Rubaiyat vineyard and winery, is sailing. As a child I dreamt of sailing the Fastnet Race. After participating in 2009, I again signed on for the 2011 edition.
It would prove to be a exciting endeavour that would put our skills and perseverance to the test. The event lived up to its reputation as the most gruelling and tactically challenging of the classic offshore races.
The 608 mile long course took us from the start line off Cowes, towards the Fastnet Rock off southwest Ireland, back around the Scilly Isles to the finish line in Plymouth.
Climb aboard and experience the race from start to finish up close.
