2015 Rolex Fastnet Start today, August 16, off Cowes. (Rolex/Kurt Arrigo)

Good luck to all the teams racing in the Royal Ocean Racing Club 2013 Rolex Fastnet, which starts off Cowes today. Unfortunately, Bella Mente Racing had to withdraw from this year’s edition of the race due to our owner/driver Hap Fauth’s work commitments. He is definitely disappointed as he hasn’t withdrawn from a big race like this since 2006.

Regardless, we’ll be following our friends and competitors out there on the legendary race and will take to the water again next month for the Mini Maxi Rolex World Championships!
