Island-wide, News, Round The Island, Sailing

The date and start time for next year’s Round the Island Race has been announced.

It’s up with the sunrise for those taking part in the iconic sailing event, with a start time of 5am on Saturday 19th June.

Round The Island RaceLea Bennett, Club Secretary for the Island Sailing Club points out, “Whilst the tides on the day are indeed dictating a very early start, it also means that the majority of competitors will hopefully cross the finish line earlier in the day and, with luck and a following wind, be able to enjoy rather more of the shore side hospitality that’s on offer in the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Race Village in Cowes Yacht Haven and with us at the Island Sailing Club.”

If you haven’t bought your 2010 diary yet, pop this somewhere safe to ensure you don’t miss this world class sailing event.

    * JPMORGAN’S London operation has won a fight with its United States masters to continue funding this country’s most decorated Olympic sailor, Ben Ainslie.

    JPM is splashing out hundreds of thousands of pounds to support triple gold winner Ainslie for 2012 and also sponsor the prestigious round the Isle of Wight yacht race.

    The bank’s head of UK retail sales, Jasper Berens, says: “We took taxpayers’ money to the tune of $25 billion (£15.5 billion) in the US, which we have now paid back, so it wasn’t automatic… We in the UK had to justify any new spending project.”
