Bugger ... i think there may be ZapCat racing at Stokes Bay on the 3rd June.

A choice ....

[hannah]

which way round does the race go ?

[Ribald]

Normally goes anti-clockwise i.e. from Cowes out past the Needles, past St Cats to port and back in via the forts.

Tried it one year in the opposite direction - OK to start with but not fun half way round - kept getting shouted at

Lol
