A
regatta to be remembered, that is
the way the organizers themselves
defined the 46th Rolex Fastnet Race;
undoubtedly, this edition was meant
to be special, because 2015marks the
90th anniversary of the Royal Ocean Racing Club
(RORC) foundation; the same as the 1st competition
of this nautical cup celebrated in 1925.
On this occasion, the biyearly regatta gathered
a record of a 356 boat fleet at its exit line; faithful
to its objective of “encouraging long-distance yacht
racing” over which the RORC was founded; this year
there were conditions to test the capabilities for
tactics, seafaring, resolution and patience of the
competitors.
