Round the Island Yacht Race

[Dreadnought]

Anybody done it on a Sprint 15?

Not from Shanklin, may be some of Gurnard.

I've talked about doing a round the Island on a sprint 15 - probably not at the same time as the real race - but I'm up for it if anyone else is ?

What about doing it as a fleet as a fund raiser ?

I'm definitely up for it. How about an alternate event for catamarans going in the opposite direction on the same day.

Sounds a good idea but I am old

Thinking about it Erling and Paul Tanner may have sailed round the Island on a Dart15

I went round on my own couple of years ago in 7 hours 20., mostly northerly wind.Going the opposite way to the yachts would leave you punching tide most of the way round.

I did write in jest, just in case anybody thought I wanted to recreate the Battle of Waterloo outside the Whale Chine.
