The Interdepartmental Offshore Regatta 20th - 24th May 2013

The Inter-Departmental Offshore Regatta is held every year between boats and crews representing Civil Service departments, agencies and other bodies. There are also entries from Civil Service sailing and recreation clubs. For 2013 there will be 20 boats available from Fairview Sailing.

The IDOR has been held every year since the late 1960’s, starting as a race to Cherbourg in members' own boats. Over the years it has evolved into a mixture of inshore and offshore races held over five days, mainly in the Solent but including a race round the Isle of Wight, in a chartered matched fleet.

Who can enter?

Entry is open to Civil Service and affiliated departments, and in recent years this has been extended to include CSSA clubs, such as Fishers Green, Littleton and CSORC.

Where is it held?

This year the regatta is again hosted by the Island Sailing Club, Cowes, but for a change we will be chartering boats from Fairview Sailing at Port Hamble.

Pairs Competition for the Class A Shield and Cariad Cup

Awarded to the team with the lowest combined points in racing up to Thursday evening. Offshore races count as two place points – no discards.

For those new to the regatta, the pairs competition is a way to encourage the exchange of knowledge and ideas as well as to encourage social mixing between crews, and of course to add another element to the competitive side of the regatta. We suggest you take some time out during the week to invite your buddy boat round for a drink.
