Round the (other) Island Race

   The reservoir I sail on is on an island formed by rivers on all three sides. Topologically speaking then the island is (if I understand this stuff correctly, which admittedly is unlikely) an irregular Torus, and therefore we are sailing round the *inside* of the island every race...

	I believe Clevedon S.C. have a Channel race which involves rounding the island.
