Win spot prizes for the best improvement on each stage
This year, if you're racing in the IRC or ISCRS (Island Sailing Club Rating System) fleets, you'll be able to access our new LIVE Stage Leaderboard, which will show your fleet position on handicap after each of the main race stages:
Stage 1: START to The Needles
Stage 2: The Needles to St Catherine's Lighthouse
Stage 3: St Catherine's Lighthouse to Bembridge Ledge
Stage 4: Bembridge Ledge to the FINISH
Accessible onboard during the race, the new LIVE Stage Leaderboard will give you and your fellow crewmates a fun and useful tool to track progress and find out how you're doing against your rivals. We'll also be awarding some Robert Oatley Wine Magnums for the crew that shows the most improved performance for each stage!
NOTE: We offer the ISCRS (ISC Rating System) FREE to boats without current IRC rating certificates.
