This is not an event organised by the OGA, but it has Gaffer classes, so well worth taking part. For those new to the event, the course starts at Cowes and then goes anti-clockwise around the Isle of Wight and back to Cowes.With often over 1400 yachts taking part, it is a spectacle to behold and is one of the largests yacht races in the world and the fourth largest participation sporting event in the UK after the London Marathon and the Great North and South Runs.
