I hope the attraction of coming to the Island outweights any inconveinience and aadditional costs. Entries confirmred so far are encouraging, with 11 boats making the journey from Instow alone, Shanklin have a large no and of course are own fleet where we should get a very high percentage from the 30 in the boat park.
