The 17th edition of the iconic two-handed & crewed Round Britain and Ireland Yacht Race is scheduled for 2027.

One of the toughest events in the offshore calendar, this race challenges sailors to navigate around Britain and Ireland in demanding conditions. Crews stop for at least 48 hours in three host ports, including Lerwick, where the fleet can enjoy a well-earned rest and warm island hospitality.

Alongside the two-handed race, a crewed option allows changes in Galway and Blyth, offering the full challenge with greater flexibility.
