What to expect

The Myth of Malham race has the rare distinction of being more than just another offshore/coastal race event. This event offers a strategically challenging 235-mile offshore race from the Solent to the Eddystone Lighthouse, off Plymouth, and back to finish just outside the Solent. It functions simultaneously as training ground for the infamous Rolex Fastnet race and also as a decisive event for the RORC championship. The complexity of channel tidal gates makes this a challenging tactical event.

Crews who emerge well from this May weekend know they’re onto something. Those who stumble at Portland Bill or get caught out by a misjudged current at Eddystone spend the rest of the season making up the deficit.

That’s the whole paradox of a 235-mile race: long enough to reveal flaws, short enough to leave no margin for recovery.

Crews should expect 3-days of intensive offshore/ coastal racing and with a crew of just 6 on this Sunfast 3200; you will be a fully involved race crew member.

We would reccommend that you join the training day on Friday 22nd May at an additional cost of £150 per person. This provides the opportunity to familise yourself with the yacht and also provides a chance for the skipper to assess the capabilities of the crew and assign roles to create a competitive entry.

Accommodation

A berth is available to all crew both prior to the race and during the race. Although it should be noted that with an active watch system ‘hot bunking’ may be employed to ensure the most comfortable berth possible whilst racing.
