The Round
the Island Race is exactly that…
a wonderful race course circumnavigating the Isle of Wight. This sailing
event is always a popular choice for corporate hospitality. The
length of the course, the location, the stunning scenary and the
opportunity this back drop provides for fun, business and team
building is tailor-made.
Whilst you have the exhilaration of the race the course is long enough
for a relaxed sail with plenty of time for conversation, giggles,
team work and of course, lunch! A corporate
day can’t get better! The race is sponsored by JP Morgan Fleming.
First sailed in 1931, the race still competes
for the Gold Roman Bowl. Over 1700 yachts compete from Admirals Cup
yachts to families but the outcome is universal; a unforgettable days
sailing....come and see for yourself!
