Hundreds of boats are expected to take part in the annual Round the Island Race, organised by the Island Sailing Club, on Saturday 7 June.
Dave Atkinson, Race Director, said the event is open to all: “The beauty of Round the Island is that anyone can take part. We can have Olympic sailors lining up against groups of friends and families, making Round the Island really unique.
“It is always an amazing sight to see so many boats sailing around the Isle of Wight and we hope this year’s race will be another really special one.”
Early bird entries start from £140 and the discounted fee will be available until 11.59pm on 14 February. Standard prices will then be available until 24 May, with a late entry fee open until 12pm on 4 June. All the sign up details are available on the new Round the Island Race website, which launched last month.
The new site provides a fresh digital platform with new features and content to cover all aspects of the event. A race log, range of chat forums, photo galleries and FAQs all feature and are fully compatible on any device.
Further plans, including details about the shoreside race village and other activities, will follow. To enter the race: www.roundtheisland.org.uk
