RORC Fastnet Race update, more entries allowed in the Fastnet Race

The RORC have opened up more spaces for entry into the RORC Fastnet Race, a great opportunity to get your multihull entered if you have a craft capable of competing in the race.

From the following article on the RORC Fastnet Race minisite:

With the entry limit of 300 filled within 24 hours, over 100 boats on the waiting list and entries from multihulls, IMOCA 60s and Class 40s still coming in, demand for places in this year's Rolex Fastnet Race have been greater than ever. To answer this unprecedented demand the RORC has decided to increase the number of places available for IRC rated boats by an extra 40 places, to 340. The addition of multihulls, IMOCAs, Class 40s and Mini Transats could easily bring the total fleet to 380 boats and to cope with this the club has decided to move the event to Plymouth Yacht Haven which has the capacity to supply the extra berthing that is needed.
