Grand Rhino to compete in the legendary Fastnet Race

On 26 July, Grand Rhino will start one of the most iconic races on the Class40 calendar: the Rolex Fastnet Race. The 695-nautical-mile course will take the fleet from Cowes, around the legendary Fastnet Rock, and finish in Cherbourg.

Known for strong winds and powerful currents, the race will be sailed by crews of four. Aina Bauza and Axelle Pillain will sail alongside Robin Follin and Jules Bonnier.

The Class40 is a fast and robust 12.18-metre ocean racing yacht. This Fastnet Race will be an important training event for the team ahead of the Transat Café L’Or next October.

Depending on the weather conditions, the race is expected to last around five days and can be followed on the social media accounts @ainasailing and @cap_pour_elles.
