Round the Island Race

The Round the Island Race is an annual yacht race around the Isle of Wight. It starts and finishes in Cowes, and is organised by the Island Sailing Club. The course is about long. The race was first held in 1931〔〔 and since 2005 it has been sponsored by JP Morgan Asset Management. The date of the race is generally chosen to be the Saturday in June for which the tides are most favourable; a date in late May or early July may be chosen if there are no suitable dates in June.
==History==

The race was the idea of Major Cyril Windeler, who commissioned a gold Roman-style bowl as prize for the winner. The first race, in 1931, had 25 entries. The silver bowl second prize was introduced a few years later when Chris Ratsey impressed Windeler with his good sportsmanship.〔 The last race before WWII, in 1939, attracted 80 entries.〔
In 2005 JP Morgan Asset Management began sponsorship of the event in a deal lasting until 2010. This sponsorship was later extended to 2014.
In 2008 a total of 1750 boats took part.
