OK I know it's still early days, but just wondering who might be doing the Round the Island Race 2010...entries are above 300 now. What are you doing it in, where are you staying Saturday night, and is there any chance of a PH beer rendezvous?

This will be my second time, we'll be in a Sabre 27, and trying to finish before the time limit. Aiming for E Cowes Marina on Sat night, and a few beers, assuming we make it in before closing time!

Anyone else doing this event?

I thought you meant a variant of the F-86 Sabre spin

Well be at the Folly friday night, stay aboard for dinner and then ashore for beer, up to watch the start, down to hurst to watch them go through, back to Cowes for lunch, down to the forts to see the fleet come home, back to Hamble, in a motor boat.

I've done it many times, fasted in a J120, 5 hrs 21 mins.
