The Round the Island Race is the biggest yacht race of the year, globally. With so many sailors in one place, the tension and on-the-water battles make it a unique race. If you want an exhilarating competitive race, a fantastic spectacle, a real sense of achievement and a lasting memory then look no further. It is a superb spectacle, and everyone should do it at least once!
The Race:
The Racers boat will be on our X-37 which is more performance oriented, competing under IRC with the racers and with hi-tech laminate sails. This is the boat to join if you are a racer or think you will enjoy the cut and thrust of battling it out on the water.
The itinerary (subject to change):
Friday – Join your race skipper and fellow crew at 09:00am in Hamble for a day of training. The focus will be on teamwork and maximising boat speed in preparation for the race. On Friday evening the boat will return to Port Hamble for a crew de-brief and dinner ashore.
Saturday – Race Day always begins with an early start! After the race you will return to Hamble for departure. Expect the race to last around 8-9 hours.
Accommodation:
If accommodation is required for the Friday evening, please do discuss requirements with the PL team. Accommodation is not guaranteed.
Please note:
Price does not include onshore accommodation or catering. The itinerary is subject to change dependent on weather and race start times.
