Pictures: Take a look at the Round the Island Race

Nearly 1,200 boats and 7,000 sailors have taken part in a race around the Isle of Wight.

Amateurs, families and club sailors of all ages competed on the same racecourse with Olympic and world champion sailors in Saturday's Round the Island Race.

David Atkinson, race director said: “We’ve had every type of conditions possible; light winds, no wind, rain, fog, mist and the sun, all of which makes the race an exciting challenge.

"That said, reports coming in from competitors indicate they’ve had a fantastic time on the water and have thoroughly enjoyed the day.”

Peter Cunningham’s MOD70 PowerPlay was the first boat to finish the race, in a time of 4 hours, 11 minutes and 1 second.
