The Race
The Falmouth – L’Aber Wrac’h race is organised by Helford River Sailing Club (HRSC) and is scheduled for Friday, 26th June 2026. It is a 92-mile offshore pursuit race across the Channel to L’Aber-Wrac’h in Brittany, France, and has been held annually since 1959. Being a pursuit race, the smallest/slowest boats start first according to handicap, giving everyone a chance of being first across the finish line.

There are two routes to entering / crewing:
