ROUND THE ISLAND: The Royal Southern Yacht Club has will be the mainland HUB Club for this year‘s Round the Island Race.

The exclusive right was granted by the Island Sailing Club (ISC) for the last race under J.P. Morgan’s 12-year title sponsorship.

Previously acting as a South Coast HUB in 2015, Royal Southern will be showing the Race EventTV feed throughout the weekend, 1-3 July 2016.

It includes Friday evening’s live coverage of the Raymarine Weather Brief, live coverage of Saturday’s starts, competitor notices/information and the ISC’s full classified results service.

The Club will also host Race-related social functions during the weekend.

ISC will also provide the staffing and the infrastructure to allow competitors to come to the Royal Southern Yacht Club to declare and collect their Tankards.

The facilities are not available anywhere else other than at the Island Sailing Club who run the Race from Cowes.
