More than 800 boats took to the water for the 95th Round the Island Race, with organisers hailing this year's event as "one of the best in years" after near-perfect sailing conditions.

A charity helping people rebuild their lives after serious physical injuries will take part in the Round the Island Race for the very first time this weekend.

A host of seaside venues have teamed up to make this year’s Round the Island Race a truly Islandwide experience.
