There's a lot of speculation around at the moment that RORC's 'major announcement' on Tuesday will be to announce a new destination for the 2021 Fastnet race i.e. Cherbourg. If this turns out to be correct then I can't help feeling the Fastnet will lose something that makes the race what it is. I know Plymouth perhaps wouldn't be the destination you'd choose if you were planning the event today, but of all the offshore races the Fastnet is special because of its history and traditions. To make such a major change after nearly 100 years would be to take away something that gives the race its identity.
We'll find out on Tuesday, but hopefully the major announcement will be something that doesn't spell the end of the race as we know it.
