The Coupe de France, first contested in 1891, has undergone significant transformations throughout its history. After an 11-year hiatus, the competition was revitalized in 2003 with a complete restructuring of its rules. The format evolved into a team-based tournament.

The Marion Bermuda Race was first raced in 1977 and designed to be a totally Corinthian event, with crews participating for the joy of sailing, with friendly competition amongst the racers being the key ingredient. The Ocean Race starts in Marion, Massachusetts, and ends in Bermuda, and provides a chance for more amateur crews to develop their blue water sailing skills, as well as for seasoned crews to compete in an Ocean Race across some lively sailing ground.

The start date for the next edition of sailing's greatest Corinthian challenge has been set. The Transatlantic Race will depart from Newport, RI and head for the southern coast of England. A virtual gate off Lizard Point will enable teams to challenge the course record for this historic passage, but the official finish will take place off the Royal Yacht Squadron's waterfront castle in Cowes, England.

Argentario Sailing Week take place towards the end of June, when traditionally the breeze is stronger. The Regatta hosts a selection of yachts belonging to Classic, Vintage, Spirit of Tradition and Metric classes and sees the participation of sailors from all over the world. The yachts are moored along the spectacular ancient harbour of Porto San Stefano, called “La Pilarella”, where crews enjoy the historical charm of the village and its restaurants, bars and boutiques straight on the docks. Four challenging days of racing in some of the best sailing conditions in the Mediterranean combined with the famous YCSS hospitality make the Argentario Sailing Week not to be missed.

From Cowes to Cork, approximately 324 nautical miles. This race will likely include some virtual waypoints to provide some variety and different tactical challenges. One of the jewels in the crown among West Country harbours, Dartmouth, plus Kingswear opposite, and the always welcoming Royal Dart Yacht Club make this a popular sailing destination.

Formally known as Gotland Runt (Round Gotland), the ÅF Offshore Race is the largest offshore race in the Baltic Sea, arranged by the Royal Swedish Yacht Club in June/July each year.

The Transpacific Yacht Race (Transpac) is a biennial offshore yacht race held in odd-numbered years starting off the Pt. Fermin buoy in San Pedro, California and ending off Diamond Head in Hawaii, a distance of around 2,225nm.

The Tattinger Regatta is a popular and successful fixture in the South Coast's racing calendar. Running over three days, it offers fun on and off the water. Friday involves a training day followed by a champagne reception ahead of 2 days of races. On Saturday, all boats now have a minimum of two races followed by a single race on Sunday with classes representing an historic timeline of yachting evolution from X One Design, Yarmouth One Design and IRC Classic Cruisers and IRC Swan, through to modern IRC racing divisions. Saturday's racing culminates in the social highlight of the weekend - held in the grounds of a landmark, waterfront property adjacent to the RSYC. The legendary Towers Party includes food, drink, music and a spectacular fireworks display. The enduring popularity of The Tattinger RSYC Regatta is easy to define: a diverse fleet and well-organised racing; onshore entertainment with a broad appeal and an informal atmosphere all set against a stunning backdrop.
