The Race – Round Britain and Ireland Race
First organised by the Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC) in 1995, the Sevenstar Round Britain and Ireland Race circumnavigates all the islands of the UK, including Muckle Flugga, the most northerly point, which at just under 61 degrees is further north than Cape Horn (56 deg) is south and a significant milestone for any sailor.
The 2022 Sevenstar Round Britain and Ireland Race will feature a wide variety of yachts racing under the IRC rating rule as well as one design and open classes, such as IMOCA, Class40 and Multihulls. The majority of the fleet will race fully crewed, but with the popularity of the Two-Handed class in recent years, the race is expected to have a record entry.
The Sevenstar Round Britain and Ireland Race starts on Sunday 7th August 2022 from Cowes, Isle of Wight, UK. All boats will carry trackers and full coverage of the race, including a Virtual race will be available at: http://roundbritainandireland.rorc.org/

“This is not a race like any other in the Royal Ocean Racing Club program,” said race director Chris Stone. “It’s a very difficult race in remote places with a lot of navigation work required, not to mention the tides. The qualifying process combined with the involvement of the crew will translate the success of the competitors. The Sevenstar Round Britain & Ireland is not a race for novices“.
The Class40 is a monohull ocean-oriented racing yacht which has been increasing in popularity in the past 15 years. Now regarded as one of the most exciting classes to be involved with, due to it high performance and the boats longevity of performance. Whilst the class progresses with new technologies and designs, class rules regulate the speed of growth to maintain a large competitive fleet and incur fewer redundancies due to increases in the price of construction.
