OSTAR 2013, Original Singlehanded Transatlantic Race.

This race is somewhat of a legend to singlehanded sailors and is on many solo sailors bucket list.  The race has a multihull division and requires the highest standards of multihull safety which is quite a bit of work to achieve but is a great target to shoot for particularly for a racing multihull.  The competitors depart Plymouth in the UK and head West towards Newport in the US. The race starts on Monday 27th May 2013.

You can read more about the race at the RWYC website which has a Notice of Race to peruse if you are thinking of taking up the challenge.
