As the train got nearer to Southampton the hits on the Bramblemet website soared as we all checked the live weather to see a consistent 20kts gusting over 25kts (and a distinct absence of the 30 degree sunshine we’d seen all week from our desks in London!). Under the instruction of the Race Committee all six J70s filled with a mixture of new, potential and regular YMs, set off to a windward leeward course within the protection of Osborne Bay.

Originally, it was raced for in Cowes, was then moved to Bembridge, and finally came to Seaview in the late 1980's. Over the past ten years, nine different clubs have emerged victorious showing that if you enter you stand as much chance as anybody else of walking away with the cup. This year, as in recent years, Sea View Yacht Club invited not only Island Yacht Clubs but also mainland yacht clubs that are involved in organising yacht racing on the Solent.
