This year’s annual Round the Island Race, organized by the Island Sailing Club, was one of the faster circumnavigations of the 53.2nm circuit around the Isle of Wight. It attracted 1,342 entries comprising about 14,000 sailors. Winning the J/70 class by a significant margin was the under 25 crew of YETI, helmed by Jack Davies. Their elapsed time was 8:09:09, over six minutes clear of the second place 70 team, Patrick Liardet’s COSMIC crew. Third was JACKAL, fourth JENGA 8, and fifth VALKYRIE.
