The 2025 Royal Escape Race has come to an end, and what a Bank Holiday weekend it was. From the bustling shores of Shoreham to the welcoming finish in Fécamp, this year's race brought together everything we love about offshore sailing: endurance, strategy, determination, and community.

Crews faced challenging conditions across the 75-nautical mile crossing of the English Channel. Whether battling tides or trimming sails under pressure, every entrant contributed to what has been an exciting, emotional, and unforgettable race.

There was support from both sides of the Channel, cheers from Brighton and Shoreham, and a warm reception from our friends at Société des Régates de Fécamp. This year's event reminded us once again why the Royal Escape Race continues to hold its place as a key date in the UK sailing calendar.

The Celebration Continues

The race may be over, but the festivities are not. We're delighted to invite all competitors, supporters, families, and friends to the 2025 Royal Escape Race prize-giving.

Event Details:

The prize-giving is more than just an awards ceremony. It's an evening to reflect on the race, reconnect with your fellow sailors, and celebrate the incredible effort, teamwork, and sportsmanship shown throughout the event.
