Here’s a rare opportunity to join renowned marine photographer Rick Tomlinson in the field for a special workshop at Fastnet Rock during this summer’s Rolex Fastnet Race.

From 23-27 July, four lucky marine photography enthusiasts will join Rick on a professionally skippered 50-foot charter yacht out of Baltimore in West Cork, which will be stationed at the famous rock in prime position to capture the boats rounding in this 50th edition of the legendary race.

Depending on weather, the party go to a small harbour in the hours of darkness. But the group will spend as much time as possible at the rock, with provisions for four full days at sea.

There’s also the chance of seeing some of Ireland’s bounty of marine wildlife in the area.

Places are £1,800 per person which includes accommodation onboard in a shared cabin (flight to Cork not included). For more see Rick Tomlinson’s website HERE.
