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.

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