The good ship Pickle was finally awarded the silver gilt Roman Bowl at a ceremony at the Island Sailing Club, Cowes on 6th January. This comes 6 months after the July 1st Round the Island Race and an uphill struggle to get justice.

With a 3 generation all family crew, Pickle beat around 550 other boats in the ISC divisions. It was a windy race which resulted in 3 sinkings, 4 capsizes and 20 people going to hospital.'
