The date and start time for next year’s Round the Island Race has been announced.
It’s up with the sunrise for those taking part in the iconic sailing event, with a start time of 5am on Saturday 19th June.
Lea Bennett, Club Secretary for the Island Sailing Club points out, “Whilst the tides on the day are indeed dictating a very early start, it also means that the majority of competitors will hopefully cross the finish line earlier in the day and, with luck and a following wind, be able to enjoy rather more of the shore side hospitality that’s on offer in the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Race Village in Cowes Yacht Haven and with us at the Island Sailing Club.”
