Four teams will compete in the upcoming JP Morgan Asset Management Round the Island Race, starting from Cowes on the 19th of June: Oman Sail Masirah, The Wave Muscat, Ecover and Team Metherell will be testing the tides before competing in the Extreme Sailing Series at Cowes Week (August 3 - 5). The 50-mile course around the Isle of Wight traditionally sees more than 1800 boats battle it out, but for the past 3 editions, Extreme 40s have claimed line honours!
