The RaceNew to the event?

The Round the Island Race, hosted by the Island Sailing Club, was first sailed in 1931, and today sailors are still competing for the legendary Gold Roman Bowl. Around 1,200 boats and 10,000 sailors join in, making it the largest and most spectacular yacht race of its kind in the world, enjoyed by top professionals and newcomers alike.

We've produced a handy "First Timers' Guide" with everything you need to know - from how to enter and what to prepare, to where to berth and who to look out for.
