ROUND THE ISLAND RACE 2020

Join us on our home turf here in The Solent for the Round the Island Race to start the UK racing season in style. With the largest particpation numbers for a UK sporting event you can share the race track with professionals and some of the most advanced racing yachts currently out there. Some of the fastest ocean racers compete alongside super maxis and ocean racing catamarans, racing yachts and fast sailing cruisers all battling for the Gold Roman Bowl in the annual Round the Island Race. Records are always looking to be broken and it's often the smallest the yacht out on the course that takes the honours.

The town of Cowes, yachting capital of England, pulls out all the stops for the Round the Island Race with some fantastic sailing and social events, ensuring a great atmosphere from the pre-race party to the post race celebrations for race crews as well as families following ashore. The Island Sailing Club, which hosts this famous race, offers hospitality to all race entrants.
