The Island Sailing Club’s annual big meeting had, this year again, kept its promises : 1200 competitors, including 6 Class40, came to participate in Round The Island Race (theorical route : 51nm).
If it was a sunny day, the wind was very light, which made difficult the first section of the route between Cowes and The Needles. Not easy for the records !
Indeed, the record in the Class40 category on this race set in 2013 (Al Bucq #124, 5 hours 38 minutes 14 secondes) is still the record ! Jack Trigger and his crew needed, this year, 9 hours 57 minutes and 58 secondes to tour the island and win !
In the Vintage category, Fortissimo’s crew is the first.
