This Saturday the Round the Island Race will come up The Solent and around The Needles and are expected to pass Milford on Sea from around 8am for two to three hours.
If you have not seen this race before, it is one of the most amazing sights in yacht racing.
The race features around 1400 yachts and over 16,000 sailors. They start at Cowes in phases and race over 50 miles anticlockwise around around the Isle of Wight. It takes from 3 hours to 10 hours to complete the course depending upon the type of yacht and the wind.
Hurst Castle is one of the best vantage points to watch this spectacular event as hundreds of yachts jostle for position. The Hurst Castle Food Truck will be open for breakfast and refreshments.
The Lighthouse café at the foot of Hurst Spit will also be open, as well as serving takeaway coffee and Bacon Ciabatta.
*Pre-book your tickets if you also wish to visit Hurst Castle as there is limited availability.
