The Isle of Wight, located between 2 to 5 miles from the Coast of Hampshire in the South of England.<\/a> It is separated by the Solent,<\/a> a waterway famous in the yachting world for hosting annual events such as Cowes Week Regatta<\/a> and Round the Island Race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The largest industry on the Island is tourism, with numerous passenger and car ferries, as well as a Hovercraft transporting people back and forth from mainland England throughout the year. Agriculture still plays a large part in the Island\u2019s economy but transport costs have made it difficult for more traditional Island commodities to flourish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The iconic white cliffed Needles towards the West of the Island and the formidable forts that litter the Solent from WWll,<\/g> are hugely recognisable<\/g> and it what has helped ensure the Islands rich maritime history remains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onshore regattas such as Bembridge Dingy Week and the Seaview Regatta<\/a> offer the chance for individuals to test their sailing abilities in a competitive setting. Even an annual cricket match that takes place on the Bramble Bank at low tide! Similarly to the IOW, Palma de Mallorca<\/a> is another Island that makes up one of the several Balearic Islands<\/a> and similarly has a rich yachting presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
