Just a few days later, the Mini-Fastnet Race also departs from Douarenez. It is a serious adventure at 600 nm non-stop and double-handed. This race traverses the entrance of the English Channel and the Celtic Sea, rounds the iconic Fastnet Rock, and returns to Douarenez. The Fastnet Rock is just off Ireland’s southern coast and known for its harsh weather conditions.
