The 2018 Allen Endurance Series heads to Kent this weekend for the Round Sheppey Race, hosted by Isle of Sheppey Sailing Club.
The Round Sheppey race dates back to 1959, covering a 40-mile clockwise circumnavigation of the Isle Of Sheppey, claimed to be the UK's longest annual dinghy, cat & board race. Including Sea, river & estuary sailing with tidal conditions, the Round Sheppey Race provides many challenges, including the competitors having to cross under a low road bridge.
