The 49th Rolex Fastnet Race closed with a celebratory prize giving in Cherbourg, France for all class winners. The most significant trophy awarded was the Fastnet Challenge Cup presented to Tom Kneen and the British crew of Sunrise for winning the race overall under time correction. The 2021 Rolex Fastnet Race, held under extraordinary circumstances, had proved once again why it is the biggest and among the most challenging of offshore races. The Rolex Fastnet Race is organized by the Royal Ocean Racing Club and has been partnered by Rolex since 2001. The race is a legendary sporting contest that demands the very best from crews aspiring to complete the 695 nautical mile course. Discover more [ Ссылка ]
