The Royal Western Yacht Club is delighted announce that the entry process is now open for the Plymouth Lonely Rock Race 2021, set to start on 4th July.
Following numerous requests for this race to be formed, the PLR will start and finish in Plymouth, rounding the Fastnet Rock to port and leaving the Isles of Scilly to port on the return.
The 508-mile course, 100 miles shorter than the original Fastnet Racecourse, will also be the highest-ranking points race for the new, Southwest Offshore Group Series (SOGS). Classes will be offered for IRC & MOCRA. Cruiser and One Design classes can be accepted. Options on crew numbers are solo, double handed, half IRC crew number as well as full crew.
Expect some great prizes as race partners include B&G, Spectra, Trek n Eat, Forestia, Teamo and Ullman Sails amongst other marine market leading brands.
A strong entry is expected for the race, particularly as the start and finish is from the same port. COVID management will be much easier and for the UK entrants the city has the main railway line for those needing to get home quickly.

The entry will be limited to the first 70 boats.
