Classic Fastnet (Fastnet/Baltimore) - 1 way.
This route is categorised as a Point A to Point B swim.
Between Fastnet Rock and Baltimore Harbour, Co Cork. This is the most common route for swims to or from Fastnet, and is the only route considered for the Irish Triple Crown.
Route distance 20.5km
Started at Steps/Pier of Fastnet Rock. Swimmer touched rock at start (51° 23.37 N, 9° 36.126 W) at 13:01, finished at Baltimore Pier (51° 29.01 N, 9° 22.458 W) at 21:46
First all female Fastnet relay on the traditional route. Great fun on the boat and super opportunity for all the team and crew to climb on the Fastnet Rock prior to swim start. Swim got slightly slower at the end but all swimmers dug deep to get it finished.
