THE ROLEX FASTNET 2025 WILL BE AN EPIC MOMENT

Great memories.  A fantastic event.

Fastnet, 2023

Definitely one of my main highlights of the year.  I still think of it (and smile, bizarrely!) most days.  A huge achievement all round.

Fastnet 2023

My top experience for 2023 was with this group for sure.

Rupert H

Fastnet, 2023

Was literally one of the very best decisions I’ve made in the last few years.  I’ll remember it, and more to the point I’ll remember our crew/team for a long time to come
