Extreme40 / The Round the Island Race for the Ecover Sailing Team

Just two days remain until the J.P.Morgan Asset Management Round the Island Race. The Extreme 40's are the first start at 0500 as they take on this classic race, which will see over 1750 boats compete over the 50 mile course around the Isle of Wight.

There is a crew change for Ecover as Jonathan Taylor is competing abroad during this event, so Ecover has a new bowman in the form of America's Cup and Volvo Ocean Race sailor Andrew McLean (NZL).

Mike Golding (GBR) Skipper/Trimmer
Leigh McMillan (GBR) Helm
