AZAB
2011 Entries are invited for the 2011 Azores and back race run by the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club from Falmouth.
The race is open to monohull yachts with a length overall from 9m to 18.5m.
The course covers just less than 2500 miles of ocean, approximately 1220 miles on each leg. Open to single and double handed crews and held over a 45 day period, the yachts usually take seven to ten days to complete each leg allowing a week or so to relax and restock for the return passage. The Azores archipelago is an ideal destination - distant enough to provide a real challenge within a four to six week time-limit and to be pleasantly "foreign" on arrival, with a course clear of major shipping lanes.
Sixty one skippers have contacted us so far to request the entry form for the 2011 Azab race, and 22 of them have already returned the form and paid their deposit. The boat, skipper and crew names will be entered on the Entries page as we receive them.
Places are limited so if you wish to register your interest please contact us now for an entry form.
Some competitors have expressed an interest in carrying out the Fal 500 race next year as their qualifier. The race start is programmed for 30th May 2010, the Notice Of Race with entry form can be downloaded
