Fastnet Trophy

Fastnet Trophy

17th to 19th April 2026

Youth Team Racing

Schull Community College (SCC) has been providing post primary education on the Mizen Peninsula for over 40 years. SCC sits on the western shore of Schull Harbour and it is this proximity to the sea that brought about the establishment of Schull Community College Sailing Club in the 1980s. The club prides itself on being open and accessible to all students attending Schull Community College. SCCSC has developed and evolved over the years with a significant input from SCC staff, parents and past pupils but also from the Mizen community.

SCCSC, in association with Irish Sailing and the Fastnet Marine Outdoor Education Centre, are delighted to be organising The Fastnet Trophy, an exciting new schools sailing event, which is a reimagining of the Fastnet International Schools Regatta. We hope The Fastnet Trophy will become a highlight event on the Team Racing calendar, both at home and abroad. Looking forward to welcoming you to Schull in April 2026!
