Round the Island Information 2008 Dean & Reddyhoff Marinas will once again be a supporting Race Partner for this year's Round the Island Race starting in Cowes on Saturday 28th June 2008 . East Cowes Marina opened their bookings diary on Tuesday 8th January 2008.

This year we will again be restricting advanced bookings for berths for this event to those wishing to stay with us for both the Friday and Saturday nights.

Booking a berth at East Cowes Marina takes the stress out of finding a berth in Cowes on what is possibly the busiest night of the year.

Berthing arrangements are usually rafting alongside other race competitors in our Visitor's Area at the northern end of the marina or on one of our Hammerheads.

The Island Sailing Club will have a Declarations Point at East Cowes Marina to allow competitors to make declarations and collect their tankards.

This year we will be issuing East Cowes Marina wristbands to all crew of competing boats staying at the Marina for the weekend.

Those wearing the Marina wristband also will be entitled to 25% discount on individual return tickets to Cowes on SALLY WATER TAXIS during the weekend.

(Please note that booking your berth in advance does not guarantee you a private finger berth).

Round the Island Race 2008 - Update

We are sorry to say that we have now closed the advanced bookings for the Friday and Saturday of the Round the Island Race weekend as we have reached our maximum number of pre-booked places.

Having opened the books on the 8 th January this year, by the 31 st January we had taken our maximum advanced booking capacity of 150 boats.

Don't despair - We do hope to be able to take a few extra boats on a first come first served basis over the race weekend, subject to availability after all of our pre-booked boats are berthed.
