Organised by the Royal Ocean Racing Club, in association with the Royal Yacht Squadron, the Royal Thames Yacht Club and the Guernsey Yacht Club. Course: Cowes – Peveril Ledge – Needles Fairway – Les Hanois – St Peter Port, Guernsey Approx. 130nm

Tim Webb’s Swan 42 Luna was the overall winner under IRC for the Morgan Cup, second was Tom Kneen’s JPK 1180 Sunrise IV and completing the overall podium was Taavet Hinrikus’ MAT 1220 Nola, skippered by Margus Uudam with a team from Estonia and Finland.

The Royal Ocean Racing Club is immensely grateful for the continued support and cooperation of both UK and French maritime authorities. As the RORC Season’s Points Championship progresses towards its pinnacle event—the Rolex Fastnet Race—the Club acknowledges the essential role that cross-channel coordination plays in safely managing races of this scale and complexity. With record numbers of entries and a truly international fleet, this partnership is more important than ever.

The RORC Series Points Championship continues with the La Trinité – Cowes Race starting from La Trinité-sur-Mer on July 6th, over 60 boats are expected for the eight edition of the 320nm race.
