RACE 2026

£2450
The Baltic Sea Race is not just another offshore challenge—it’s 630 miles of pure, uncompromising sailing across one of the most demanding and beautiful bodies of water in the world. Organized under the renowned RORC banner, this race brings together serious sailors ready to test their skill, strategy, and endurance against the elements.

From the moment you cross the start line, you’re in it - navigating shifting winds, complex coastlines, and long northern days that blur into short, intense nights. The Baltic offers a unique mix of tactical racing and raw offshore grit, where every decision counts and every mile pushes you further.

This is a race for those who crave more than just competition. It’s for teams who want the full offshore experience: precision navigation, relentless focus, and the satisfaction of conquering a true 600-mile challenge.

If you’re ready to push limits, sharpen your edge, and be part of something unforgettable—the Baltic Sea Race is calling.
