The Solent Forts Race is a well-established long-distance open-water event set in the Eastern Solent, with Hayling Island and Portsmouth to the north and the Isle of Wight to the southwest.
Comprising a number of legs radiating out from a gate (like a star) to predefined marks, the format is very flexible and provides a range of points of sail and a race duration of approximately 5 hours. The SFR is open to multihulls (maximum SCHRS 1.150) and monohulls (maximum PY 780).
