ENJOY THE THRILL OF RACING AROUND THE ISLAND AGAINST A HUGELY DIVERSE FIELD INCLUDING SAILING LEGENDS, OLYMPIC MEDALISTS, RECORD BREAKING YACHTSMEN, AMATEUR RACERS AND LEISURE CRUISERS
The JP Morgan Asset Management Round the Island Race is one of the world’s most famous yacht races. It was first run in 1931 when there were just 25 yachts on the start line. Now participants come from across the globe to take part and in 2009 there were 1,779 entries competing for the legendary Gold Roman Bowl. Among them the ten 68-foot ocean racing yachts which are now competing in the Clipper 09-10 Round the World Yacht Race.
The Clipper 68s and 60s start with the highly competitive Class 0 which includes record breaking sailors, professional teams and yachts fresh from races including the Vendee Globe and Volvo Ocean Race.
First across the historic Royal Yacht Squadron start line you will have a breath taking view of the rest of the fleet as they wait for their starts with the sun climbing in the sky behind them. And, out at the head of the fleet on the south of the island, there’s another picture perfect moment in store as you look back to The Needles and watch as hundreds of yachts hoist a kaleidoscopic range of multi-coloured spinnakers.
The yachts create a huge visual impact on the start line, providing a perfect branding platform and lasting impression on clients or employees on board. Whether you’re using the event to get close to customers, build teams or train leaders, competing in the JPMorgan Asset Management Round the Island Race is an effective way of developing business relationships while enjoying an exhilarating and memorable day out of the office.
