The Solent Forts Race is a long-distance event held in the Eastern Solent, run by Hayling Ferry SC from their base at the entrance to Langstone Harbour on the southwestern corner of Hayling Island. It is one of the founding events of the Allen Endurance Series, and is open to qualifying multihulls and monohulls. The event is sponsored by Allen, Nacra and GP Sails.

For the first time in its ten-year history, high winds forecast for Sunday forced the Race Officer to pull the event forward to Saturday, holding it on 25^th June in place of the usual practice race.
