The Racing The JP Morgan Round the Island Race is an annual event where you sail the 60nm around the Isle of Wight. It is one of the biggest yacht races around and attracts competitors from Europe, the USA and all over the UK. Starting and finishing in Cowes, Isle of Wight you will race West around the Island passing famous landmarks such as the Needles and St. Catherine’s Point.
Whether you are new to racing or a seasoned crew member, the Round the Island race ticks all the boxes. Racing alongside over a thousand other yachts is an exhilarating experience and makes for many stories afterwards!
Training Hot Liquid Racing offers the complete package. You will start with a training day on the Friday where you will get the opportunity to become familiar with the rest of your crew, your yacht and skipper. After safety briefs have taken place you will head out for a day of training and coaching in the Solent.
Saturday usually begins with a prompt start ready for a day of racing. You will get the chance to be part of a functioning race crew. Following your day racing most crews make their way into Cowes where there is fantastic “après-sail” entertainment laid on to celebrate the day. On Sunday you will prepare the boat and take a leisurely cruise back from to Southampton.
