The 2012 Round Britain race will be a combination of land sea and air races going around the whole of the mainland Great Britain - the previous three races have all taken the short-cut through the Caledonian Canal which means this will be the first race around the full coastline. Peters and May will shortly be announcing a deal for US entrants to ship their boats over for the race!

A newsletter just landed in the Inbox which is attached below.

If you can't be bothered to read it here are the major points:

32 paid entries

Fees capped at 1250 hp total or £10,938 + VAT (Offer is up until the end of the year only)
