The Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC), in collaboration with Cap-Regatta and supported by LGL and Jeanneau, will host the 2025 Offshore Double Handed World Championships from 22 September to 1 October from Cowes on the Isle of Wight.

This prestigious, World Sailing-recognised event will pitch mixed-gender double-handed teams to compete in a demanding series of offshore races aboard equipment-supplied Sun Fast 30 one-design boats.

Set in the historic sailing town of Cowes —home to one of the RORC’s iconic clubhouses — the championship promises to offer a world-class race format. The regatta features qualification races, a repechage and a final series. Each crew will race without on-water assistance, showcasing both endurance and tactical precision.

Beyond the competition, the RORC’s legendary hospitality awaits. All competitors, as well as their family and friends, will receive a warm welcome at the RORC Cowes clubhouse.

The entry list and official notice board are now online.
