Windeler cup
Boats from the Daring, Dragon, Etchells, Flying Fifteen, Mermaid, Redwing, Sunbeam, Swallow, Sonar, Squib, RS Elite, Victory and XOD classes will compete in a 'Round the Solent' race for the Windeler Cup. The race will start from the Royal Yacht Squadron line off Cowes, and will follow a course around the Western Solent, taking advantage of favourable tides to finish back on the ISC line in Cowes.
The race has been named the 'Windeler Cup' after Major Cyril Windeler, who created the Round the Island Race in 1931 as an opportunity for owners of smaller yachts to enjoy a 'bigger than usual' competition. It is in this spirit that the Island Sailing Club has introduced the new race and addressed the desires of smaller keelboats.
