RORC Easter Challenge

03-05 April, 2026 – Organised by the Royal Ocean Racing Club 

The RORC Easter Challenge, organised by the Royal Ocean Racing Club, returns to the Solent from 3 to 5 April 2026, offering one of the most effective ways for racing teams to prepare for the season ahead. Entry fees start from under £500 for a 40ft boat.

Hosted from the RORC Cowes Clubhouse, the three day regatta combines high quality racing with world class coaching, making it one of the most valuable early season events in the racing calendar. Teams compete in short Solent races during the day before reviewing their performance through detailed video analysis and coaching sessions each evening.

A key element of the event is the on the water coaching programme, led by Richard Moxey, former National Keelboat Development Manager at the Royal Yachting Association. Moxey and his team observe racing from RIBs, capturing video and data that is analysed during evening debriefs.

Racing takes place from Good Friday to Easter Sunday (03–05 April), with all competitors receiving a warm welcome ashore at the RORC Cowes Clubhouse. Accommodation and dining are available, but early booking is strongly recommended. Book here
