Round the Island Race 2026 David Harding Photo Gallery

by David Harding 13 Jul 05:55 PDT 11 July 2026

We have some great shots from another photographer busy in the Solent at the weekend. David Harding says, "I did my usual thing of going all the way around and, by sheer coincidence, I think I shot all bar two of the top 25 IRC finishers overall.

"The trouble is that when you think like a racing sailor, you sometimes photograph like a racing sailor. I had an idea where they might be!"

More information at roundtheisland.org.uk where the final results will soon be published.
