There's not too many to choose from in the South. So I think we will settle for the Isle of Wright.
The Lundy Island Race from Ilfracoombe is worth doing as well.

The West Highland week entry forms are out now - you get a "Round Lismore" race in that. Then there's Round Mull, 2-handed Round Arran, Round Shuna, Round Bute, Round Ailsa Craig, and goodness knows how many more.

Used to be a "Round Hayling Island Race" when I was member of Langstone SC.

Ross Island, I presume. I don't think you need to enter the Round The Island Race formally - though you do need to be a member of Kirkcudbright Sailing Club to win a prize.

Wouldn't be in a club that would have me as a member.....

When I read this yesterday I thought you were talking about the PCC Holms race.

Could be The Isle of Thanet. Bit bumpy part of the way though.

I have already entered, now sorting out my crew and booking berths for Friday & Saturday nights. Organising lift out & scrub for the week before the race, etc, etc.
My key guys, on the helm and on the bow, are sorted. I run the show from the pits (where I can tweak all the bits of string) Next is to sort out the other three. Our target is to get into the top 10% in the ISC fleet. Just missed out on the last couple of years. must try harder.

Ah yes - and the old Windsurfing race of the same name - happy memories of being washed up Langstone Harbour at a great rate of knots due to tide through the harbour entrance coupled with the almost traditional total lack of wind on race day!

I'll take Belle Serene round. Always good fun - a half-way house between a race and a good day out with friends. More towards the latter. That's my excuse anyway, and I'm sticking to it.

You may well get line honours.....but not too sure you would do all that well on handicap!

Isle of Sheppey, isn't it?

Canvey is more picturesque.

Probably not this year.
So go for it everyone else - last time we entered it brought forth gale-force SW winds for the whole week prior to the race effectively keeping us on the East Coast !!!! Had a friend in Portsmouth on "wind-watch" to keep track of things too...We were even keeping the departing options open so as to reach the line at the start time - needless to say we didnt make it !
