Round The Island 2012

RTI award Contact Us
The JP Morgan Round the Island Race 2012 is one of the most exciting events of the year. Approximately 1,700 yachts line up every year to race the sixty mile course around the Isle of Wight. Experiencing that many yachts around you is an amazing spectacle and provides a lasting memory.
 
This is a definite favourite for many yachtsmen and despite the fierce competition one of our teams won their class in 2007, came 3rd in 2008 and 4th in 2011. In both 2010 and 2011 one of our teams won the School Boat Trophy! 
 
We have space on our yachts for individuals who want to experience the excitement of this annual event. Our fabulous 3-day programme offers a very competitive package, providing a wonderful mix of racing, fun and socials.
 
You will join the yacht on the Friday morning in Shamrock Quay, Southampton for a welcome briefing and breakfast to set you up for a day of training with your race skipper for the weekend. You will concentrate on teamwork and maximising boat speed in preparation for the race.
 
Both Friday and Saturday nights the yachts will moor in Cowes. After the evening de-brief it is time for an early dinner and then to bed, ready for the Round the Island Race which usually starts very early on the Saturday morning. After an action packed day of racing it is time to return to Cowes for the obligatory partying! Sunday is a day to chill and relax followed by a cruise back to Southampton.
 
Round the Island Race is ideal for anyone who wants to enjoy the excitement and fun of a major event whilst learning new skills. It is a superb spectacle and one not to be missed. Newcomers to yacht racing are warmly welcomed by Sailing Logic. Read a previous sailors's blog on Yachting Monthly here!
 
If you enjoy your experience with us in the Round the Island Race you may want to consider participating in one of our race training courses like the Race Development Course or race with us at Cowes Week or in the Garmin Hamble Winter Series.
