About Allen Endurance Series

The Allen Endurance Series was launched in 2018. The series combines the UK’s premier long-distance events to give high-performance catamaran and skiff sailors a season-long series to compete for.

All boats with a PY of 900 or less are eligible to qualify for the Allen Endurance Series. This is due to the long-distance nature of the event. However, each of the individual events has its own rules and some accept boats with a higher PY, so please check the NOR and SI’s for each event.

As a pinnacle long-distance event in the sailing calendar, the 2024 Allen Endurance Series invites sailors of all levels, from seasoned veterans to weekend warriors, to participate and push their limits. The series champions camaraderie, sportsmanship, and the relentless pursuit of excellence, fostering a vibrant community united by a shared love for the sea and sailing.

The 4 events of this exhilarating series will navigate the stunning waters of the Solent, Blackwater, Menai Straight and the Thames Estuary offering participants an unparalleled opportunity to engage with diverse sailing conditions and experiences. From breathtaking coastlines to demanding open water stretches, each event in the series promises an unforgettable adventure for all sailors.

Each event in the series is supported by Allen, whereby there will be a huge range of prizes available to competitors. The overall Allen Endurance Series rewards the top three sailors with Allen hardware vouchers ranging from £100 to £300 as well as the coveted Allen Endurance Series Trophy.
