Eeyore retains the Gold Roman Bowl in the Round the Island Race

by Island Sailing Club 4 Jul 2021 06:36 BST 3 July 2021

Local Cowes boat Eeyore, an Alacrity 18 Bilge Keel, has secured back-to-back victories in the Round the Island Race and retained the prestigious Gold Roman Bowl which she has held since the 2019 race.

Meanwhile, the Alan Buchanan designed Cherete has won the Silver Gilt Roman Bowl, awarded to the first boat overall in the ISCRS divisions.

Full results can be found on the www.roundtheisland.org.uk website and more news will hopefully follow. In the meantime here are some great photos from the event. Many thanks to Ingrid Abery, Tom Hicks, Mark Lloyd and Paul Wyeth.
