Round the Isle of Wight

   Phantom 871,
I have emailed one of the organisers about your interest in the RTIW. This is his response:

John,
Needless to say we are too late for this year but we could resurrect it for 
next. The sposorship needs to be at least £7500 but the last ones sponsored 
it £10,000.
See what your man says?
If you are interested in taking this further,  send me a PM.

	If you go to the fastcatrace.com website you should be able to contact the previous organisers and talk to them about sponsorship. From memory they were current/ex commordores from Datchet Sailing club.

	It looks like Weston are trying to fill the gap by running a 40 mile fast cat race in the Solent on 5th / 6th August, but they won't be going around the island. The web site says the course is anticipated to be: Weston - Stokes Bay - Ryde - Cowes - Hamstead - Yarmouth - Hurst- Lymington - Beaulieu - Calshot - Weston. Have a look at http://www.strawberrymarketing.com/fastboat.html or http://www.weston.org.uk/

	At £90 to enter and 90 boats i wouldn't think that there would be the need for a major sponser maybe the local chip shop or something?

	Seems odd that most events can be run without sponshorship but this is wholly reliant on attracting a sponsor. I suspect that costs are extremely high due to the amount of rescue cover required to fufil guidelines .If that is the case couldn't we just sign a disclaimer accepting that there is no rescue cover and we race at our own risk ! Alternatievely shouldn't the RYA step in to support an event of this magnitude b searching for a sponsor -after all they seem pretty good at getting our elite sailors plenty of support so why not the ordinary sailor ?

	Unofrtunately this events definately off. Enquired myself to the organiser and no sponsor as was previously mentioned. Bit of a shame but lets hope it'll be running again soon

	Challenge would be getting to Loch Ness-RAC says it is 650 miles 12 1/2 hrs. This event must be cursed -last time I tried to do it was cancelled for the F18 worlds in Erquy where it blew old boots and we hardly sailed
