Round the Island Race
The JP Morgan Round the Island
Race 2012 is one of the most exciting yacht races of the year.
Approximately 1,700 yachts line up every year to race the 60 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 has
returned with a trophy every year since 2007. In 2010, 2011 and
2012 we won the School Boat Trophy as well winning Division 1 in
2012! One of the crew even made it into his local press for the
achievement!
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 Hamble 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 a training day de-brief and the latest
weather forecast 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
Hamble.
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
