The new Allen Endurance Series was officially launched at the recent RYA Dinghy Show. Based around three of the UK's iconic long distance races, the Solent Forts, East Coast Piers and Round Sheppey.

With racing covering over 120 miles, the Allen Endurance Series will challenge sailors over some varied courses to find the UK's top long distance racers this summer. All races will be tracked by SailRacer, allowing organisers and supporters to monitor boat positions, also providing a wealth of analytical data such as top speeds and distance sailed.

YachtsandYachting.com.com's Mark Jardine was on hand to interview some of the key people involved with the new series.

Online entry opens after Easter, register your interest now for what is likely to be a popular series. Visit allen.sailracer.org for more information.
