The ISC are delighted to announce a new partnership with Fairview Sailing, a leading yacht charter company based in Hamble, UK. This collaboration brings together one of the world’s most celebrated mass-participation yacht races with a highly respected name in sailing.
With a fleet of over 25 yachts, including 16 matched Oceanis 37s, Fairview Sailing has been a trusted name in Solent yacht charters for nearly 40 years. More recently, Fairview has expanded its charter operations to Phuket, Thailand, with a fleet of 15 catamarans, and also represents Bali Catamarans and GranOcean power catamarans as a dealer in Thailand and Hong Kong.
As part of the partnership, Fairview Sailing will offer entrants the chance to win an unforgettable 7 day yacht charter from either their Hamble or Phuket base —providing a unique opportunity to experience sailing in either of our two exceptional destinations.
Dave Atkinson, Race Director for the Round the Island Race, commented:
“We are thrilled to partner with Fairview Sailing, whose expertise and enthusiasm for sailing align perfectly with the spirit of the race. This collaboration opens up exciting opportunities for participants and introduces an international element to the event.”
Andy Byham, Director of Fairview Sailing, added:
“We’re proud to partner with the Round the Island Race—an iconic event and a real bucket-list experience for many sailors. It’s great to be able to offer a prize that gives people the chance to get out on the water in a completely different setting, whether that’s here in the UK or at our Phuket base. Having expanded into Thailand, it’s an area we’re really excited about, and this is a great way to give more people the opportunity to experience sailing there, alongside everything we continue to offer here in the Solent.”
Entries for the Round the Island Race are open, with over 600 yachts already signed up for this year’s event. For those looking to take part but without access to a boat, Fairview Sailing has limited charter availability remaining—interested entrants are encouraged to get in touch to secure their place.
