Small boat race

Folkboat claims corrected honours in JPMorgan Asset Management Round the Island Race

Conditions in today's JPMorgan Asset Management Round the Island Race were challenging. After a fine start, down to the Needles and on to St Catherines Point, the wind turned inside out off the southeast side of the island up to Bembridge, causing the bulk of the fleet to come to a stand-still. Eventually once into the breeze, the fleet found itself having cheat the tide and creep close into Ryde Sands, too close for many. Then it was short tacking to the line, the ‘rush hour' coming between 1900 and 2000 when close to a thousand boats finished.

The top prize Gold Roman Bowl has this year to one of the smaller and older designs. Tattarat, a 25 foot Nordic Folkboat built in 1978. Her skipper is Philip Williams, a director of Williams Shipping in Southampton who very kindly supplied one of their tugs as a committee boat. Tattarat completed the course in 10 hours and 46 minutes. Philip said: "Our race was quite eventful. We touched on Ryde Sands and my 62 year old father jumped over the side to push us off! We started in a very light breeze and had a difficult beat to The Needles. Later in the eastern Solent it went light again. Basically we hugged the Island shore all the way round to get out of the tide. We were close in at The Needles, St Cat's and Bembridge. It was a difficult, testing time but a good race."

Philip's father Eric is joint Managing Director of Williams Shipping and a keen Dragon sailor. Philip is hoping his father will sail with him again, despite his swim!

Two years ago sistership Madelaine won the Gold Roman Bowl with Tattarat the runner up. This year it was the Folkboat Nordic Bear that came home second.

The Silver Gilt Roman Bowl for the top yacht in the ISC Rating System Division is the 20ft Hunter Medina Tudor Rose, built in 1982. Jointly owned by Richard and Ian Cooke from Hill Head, the boat is a regular competitor in the race over many years

The 74th JPMorgan Asset Management Round the Island Race will be held on 19 June 2010
