Interdepartmental Offshore Regatta (IDOR) 2026

Entries are sought from Civil Service groups for this summer’s IDOR regatta; Mon 8 Jun to Fri 12th June, crews of 6-8  using Fairview charter yachts. Racing is in and around the Solent and usually includes great ‘‘’all boat’’’ ‘‘’apres sailing’’’ events in Cowes and Yarmouth (IoW) . 

If you are a skipper (RYA Day Skipper with racing experience or Coastal Skipper) who can pull a team together please contact Idor.committee@gmail.com as soon as you can, to express interest. (You don’t need to be a CSSA or CSORC approved skipper)

This is a great way to start yacht racing and all standards are very welcome. For many skippers, racing in the IDOR is their first experience of racing. It’s a great event for bringing new people into our sport, and most crews have novice sailors in their crews. It’s great team building but more importantly brilliant fun.

Charter and entry fee is approximately £2800 and usually includes berthing and the prizegiving meal. That’s a staggeringly cheap £350 per head for a crew of 8 for 5 days yacht racing.

If you aren’t a skipper but know of one that can help you bring a team together please get them to contact the organisers as soon as possible.
