Standard entries close in just 4 days on the 19th June, so if your boat isn't already entered for the race, make sure you get your entry in before the deadline.

Following the Government's most recent announcements on the COVID situation in the UK, we are happy that we can run the race on the water in compliance with all current restrictions. Our COVID-19 page on the official website has been updated, and competitors are required to familiarise themselves with the information and any requirements relating to the race. Additionally, if you or your crew are visiting the Clubhouse over the weekend, you will be expected to adhere to the requirements of the Club's COVID-19 Visitor Charter, which can be downloaded from the About the Club section on the Island Sailing Club website.

A former sailing Olympian is hoping to take a team of people - who are struggling with their mental health - sailing around the Isle of Wight.

22/02/2021

We welcome today’s confirmation that outdoor sport and recreation will be the first activity after education to be released from lockdown in England. This prioritisation by the Government clearly acknowledges the many positive mental and physical benefits of outdoor sport, as well as its safety and low rates of transmission.

Whilst we are all disappointed not to be able to make a full return to our normal boating activity sooner, we will work with our members and stakeholders to support a safe restart to boating activity as soon as the roadmap allows.

In the coming days we will be reviewing the detailed regulations as they are published, in order to update our advice to clubs and centres

We can not wait to welcome you all safely back to Cowes, here’s to a great 2021 together!

The WIGHT way to travel 👌

As an Island we are pleased to have been granted Tier 1 status, a result of the conscientious and responsible actions of our local community and industry throughout the pandemic. We also appreciate the consideration shown by visitors who have been able to enjoy the Island in 2020, standing with our residents and looking out for one another to make the Isle of Wight one of the most happy and healthy destinations in the UK.

To now maintain this Tier 1 status, help protect our local community and to enable us to continue to share the Island with visitors, all staycations to the Island should be made “the WIGHT way”.

Should you now consider visiting the Isle of Wight after the 2nd December 2020, we ask that you are responsible in your planning and adhere to all Government guidelines and all rules put in place by our local businesses to help safeguard you and those around you.

To ensure that you, your loved ones and our Island community remain happy and healthy, we ask that you please continue to be considerate and help us to protect everyone wanting to enjoy the Isle of Wight by:

✔️ Wearing a face covering when required
✔️ Maintaining social distancing
✔️ Washing your hands regularly
✔️ Travelling only from Tiers 1 and 2 regions to the Island
✔️ Adhering to all Government and local advice and restrictions

As one of the UK’s top destinations, we are delighted to once again be able to share the Isle of Wight and our unique landscape, warm hospitality, delicious produce and exciting attractions with our visitors. An unspoiled haven for adventurers and a rare idyllic paradise all in one location, the Isle of Wight is a place like no other.

The Island is once again waiting for you. And for those within current Tier 3 areas, we hope that you remain positive, stay healthy and the Island will be here for you when the time is right.💛

We thank you for your patience during the most recent lockdown, and we now look forward to further relaxed restrictions and a fun festive period.🎄

We’ll see you by the sea very soon.🌊
