Join your yacht on Thursday evening ready for an early start on Friday morning to spend the day preparing and training for the race. We then head to Cowes for a good nights sleep before another, even earlier start on Race day!

There will be over 200 yachts on our start line, all jostling for position; it’s quite an experience!

With fair winds and tide, we aim to cross the finish line mid afternoon. We then head back into Cowes and to our marina for celebrations with the other competitors.

Saturday night is spent at Cowes and we then return to Gosport on Sunday after a sail in the Solent, arriving mid afternoon.

Don’t forget your cameras for this event; it’s the equivalent of the London Marathon on water!

What is included?

The cost of your Round the Island Race Weekend includes:

Your accomodation on board your yacht throughout
Your breakfasts, homemade cooked lunches and our now famous cake!
All diets catered for!
Free use of sailing waterproofs (if needed) to keep you warm and dry
Use of safety gear (life jacket and safety harness) free of charge
Free parking at our marina
Mooring Fees in Royal Clarence and East Cowes Marina

We eat ashore in the evenings so that everyone can stretch their legs (this cost is not included).

Upon booking you will receive your Joining Instructions which provide a suggested list of what to bring.

Your Joining Instructions will also detail where to find us. We sail from Royal Clarence Marina in Gosport which is easily accessed by road (it is 20 minutes from the M27 at Fareham) or by direct train from waterloo to Portsmouth Harbour.

We look forward to sailing with you!
