THE EVENT

The race often sees a variety of conditions which means that boats of all shapes and sizes are in with a chance of winning the race with over 1,400 entries and 16,000 competitors. This makes it one of the largest sporting events in the country and one of the largest yacht races in the world.

The Race itself is also only part of the appeal, Cowes and the Solent offer a fantastic bustling atmosphere with live music and beer tents. Cowes knows how to turn into a Festival venue and never disappoints!

Onboard our Reflex 38, we will aim to be very competitive in IRC class against many other identical boats and those of a similar speed.

We have completed the Round the Island Race many times and, using our experience of what has worked well for us in the past, we have put together a package to ensure we are as competitive as possible.

ITINERARY

  • Meet in Hamble in the morning to get a full day of training around the Solent for the day and pick our tactics for the start line. Then either back to Hamble or over to Cowes for the evening and a team meal.

  • Early morning off the dock to make the start. The race can be as quick as 7 hours and as long as 12 depending on the weather. Back into Cowes for the night of celebrating

  • You can depart from Cowes directly or come for a chilled cruise back to Hamble maybe via Osbourn bay for a picnic and a dip of the weather suits
