THE COUNTDOWN IS ON! ⛵️🇲🇹
From Whitstable to Malta, what an incredible journey it’s been!
This Saturday, 17th October, our very own Patrick Maflin and the Cormorant Ocean Racing team will make history as the first yacht from Whitstable to compete in the Rolex Middle Sea Race 2026! 🌊
Taking on 606 nautical miles around Sicily, the crew will face one of the Mediterranean’s most challenging offshore races.
For Patrick, this has been about so much more than reaching the start line. Through Cormorant Ocean Racing, he’s helping create opportunities for the next generation of young sailors to gain experience, develop their skills and compete on the international stage.
As the founder of Marine Accounts, Patrick spends his working days supporting yacht crew with their finances. Now it’s his turn to get out on the water and put his own sailing skills to the test! 💪
We’re incredibly proud of everything Patrick and the team have achieved to get this far.
Wishing Patrick and the entire Cormorant crew fair winds, safe sailing and the very best of luck! We’ll be cheering you on all the way! 💙
