The Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC), in collaboration with Cap-Regatta and supported by LGL and Jeanneau, is proud to host the 2025 Offshore Double Handed World Championships from 22nd September to 1st October from Cowes, Isle of Wight.

For the 2025 Offshore Double Handed Worlds 22 teams from six continents will compete for the world title.

This prestigious World Sailing-recognised event will pitch mixed-gender double-handed teams to compete in a demanding series of offshore races aboard equipment-supplied Sun Fast 30 One Design boats.

Set in the historic sailing town of Cowes—home to one of the Royal Ocean Racing Club's iconic clubhouses—the championship promises to offer a world-class race format. The regatta features qualification races, a repechage, and a final series. Each crew will race without on-water assistance, showcasing both endurance and tactical precision.

Beyond the competition, the RORC's legendary hospitality awaits. All competitors, as well as their family and friends, will receive a warm welcome at the RORC Cowes clubhouse.
