EVENTS: JP MORGAN ASSET MANAGEMENT ROUND THE ISLAND RACE

With over 1,500 yachts competing (that's more than 10,000 sailors), the annual one day Round the Island Race is the yachting world's equivalent of the London Marathon. First raced in 1931, yachts still compete for the Round the Island Race Gold Roman Bowl, the legendary trophy presented by the race's founder Cyril Windeler. Little did he realise what he was starting and today, a huge variety of yachts take part, from maxi-sleds and high performance multi-hulls to small coastal cruisers and sedate old timers. The Round the Island Race is a multitude of races within a race!

Britannia Corporate Events is a sponsor and race partner of the JP Morgan Asset Management Round the Island Race 2010. Britannia is the official yacht charter and corporate hospitality partner for the Round the Island Race.

No prior experience is required for the Round the Island Race, as our professional crew are excellent tutors in both the techniques and enjoyment of sailing.

Britannia Corporate Events will take care of all your requirements and ensure that your race weekend runs as smoothly as possible. Britannia also offers full corporate branding packages for both the yacht and the crew.

Britannia offers you the opportunity to compete in the Round the Island Race aboard our fleet of Beneteau 40.7 or 47.7, yachts.
