IDOR 2021 The Civil Service Interdepartmental Regatta The IDOR 2021 took place between 21st and 25th Jun 2021, and was hosted by the Island Sailing Club.
The Inter-Departmental Offshore Regatta (IDOR) is held every year between boats representing Civil Service departments, agencies, other public bodies and CSSA clubs. The IDOR has been held annually since the late 1960s, starting as a race to Cherbourg in members’ own boats. Over the years it has evolved into a mixture of inshore
Stuart Dawes and offshore races held over five days, mainly in the Solent but including a race round the Isle of Wight, in a matched fleet of Oceanis 37s. The IDOR has developed into a fine opportunity for crews of all abilities and experience to come together under an experienced skipper and represent their department in what must be one of the best means of team building and bonding. The move to a one-design fleet means that no crew is disadvantaged through lack of access to a competitive boat and of course your position on the water is your position in the race. Most crews are a mixture of novices, dinghy sailors, cruisers and racers of various experience.
