Round The Island Race 2012
Overview:
The Annual Round The Island Race is the biggest event in the Yachting Calender With over 1800 boats competing it is one of the most famous races in the world. The course is simply around the Isle of Wight dodging the various off lying rocks and other competitors. Start and Finish Lines are at Cowes.
Stormforce Coaching will be entering five yachts into the 2012 race. We are confident that with our experienced racing skippers and enthusiastic teams on board, they will be well placed.
Whether you have racing experience or not, you can be part of that team and enjoy the thrill of the sail.
This is traditionally a three-day package. Friday is training day where we get to know the boats and each other. We'll practice sail handling, tacking, hoisting/dropping the spinnaker and gybing. Our racing skippers will run through the strategy and tactics that we'll need to take advantage of a best course on all points of sail.
Starting guns are early on Saturday morning and once we're off it's about 60 miles to the finish line. We'll moor overnight in Cowes and soak up the party atmosphere that engulfs the town for the weekend. After a leisurely "full English" ashore on Sunday morning, we'll sail back to the Southampton.
