J.P. Morgan 'Round the Island Boat Race 2013


 The 'Round the Island boat race is one that takes place once a year, "a one-day yacht race around the Isle of Wight, an island situated off the south coast of England. The race regularly attracts over 1,700 boats and around 16,000 sailors, making it one of the largest yacht races in the world and the fourth largest participation sporting event in the UK after the London Marathon and the Great North and South Runs."

The only reason why I know the slightest thing about the race is because my mum's boyfriend happens to compete in it. And every so often, you know, they are quite successful.
Their boat is the GBR707 Madelaine.
Sadly this year their position was 14th, but in 2012 they came 3rd, 2011- 4th, 2010 - 2nd and won in 2007!

So if you saw a certain boat continually popping up in these photos, it's them! For the whole day we raced around the island stopping off at different points to grab some shots of them, so apologetic to others in the race I didn't catch many of the others...

Maybe if you do go have a look out for them.
Leave your supporting boat in the comments and i'll have a look out too.
