Round the Island Race. By Paul Wyeth

Round the Island Race has been shortlisted for a prestigious national award.

The iconic event around the Isle of Wight took place in July, with more than 1,200 boats taking part.

On the water there was everything from flat calm to 25 knot gusts, fog and sun. 

Local Cowes boat Eeyore, an Alacrity 18 Bilge Keel, secured back-to-back overall victories and retained the prestigious Gold Roman Bowl which she has held since the 2019 race.

Now, the race - scheduled for Saturday, June 25 - has been nominated in the British Yachting Awards Event of the Year category.

Cowes Week has also been nominated in the same category.
