The challenging 2500-mile race from Falmouth to The Azores islands in the mid-Atlantic and back has been held for the last 43 years and is organised by the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club.

MailASail AZAB Race Director Ian Munday said: “As a veteran myself I can fully appreciate the immensely valuable and life changing work that Turn to Starboard does with veterans and their families. We are delighted to be able to support the charity through the MAZAB and increase the awareness amongst fellow mariners of the impact that the charity achieves.”
