2022 RIOW Race

A unique solo yacht race, with a Solo and a Double Handed class, around the Isle of WIght. Always keenly contested and usually SORC's best attended annual challenge. The vagaries of the wind and tides add to the already significant test of racing solo or double handed. This is the race every SORC skipper wants to win!

For this race SORC becomes SORC .... Solo Offshore Racing Club becomes Short-Handed Offshore Racing Club!!

For the Double Handers, this race forms part of the 2022 Double Handed Offshore Series (DHOS), and DHOS will extract results and points accordingly.
