The Round the Island Race – a guide to entry and taking part

Tue, 29/05/2012 - 19:00 - 23:00

Charles Whittam & Graham Broadway

Have you ever thought about having a go at the UK's biggest yacht race? Are you worried by the thought of 1,700 yachts in the Western Solent? Have you already had a go but would appreciate a few hints?

Then come to this evening and have all your questions answered. Club members Charles Whittam and Graham Broadway will take you through all you need to know for a day on the water you will never forget. From entry procedures to making sure your boat and crew are prepared: from a few necessary racing rules to a few tips on what to look out for as you go round.

There are three club "pots" to be won - make this the year you get your name on one of them!
