Early bird entries for this year’s Round the Island Race are now open.
Hundreds of boats are expected to take part in the annual spectacle, organised by the Island Sailing Club, on Saturday 7th June.
Atkinson: We hope this year’s race will be another really special one
Dave Atkinson, Race Director, said the event is open to all. He said,
“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’s 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
Early bird entries start from £140 and the discounted fee will be available until 11.59pm on Friday 14th February.
Standard prices will then be available until 24th May, with a late entry fee open until 12pm on 4th June.
All the sign up details are available on the new Round the Island Race website, which launched earlier this month.
