Sunsail option

Last remaining charters available for Round the Island and Cowes Week

Sunsail’s matched fleet of 60 Sunfast 37 yachts will be lining up on the Royal Yacht Squadron line for the start of both the JP Morgan Fleming Round the Island Race and Skandia Cowes Week.

These annual events always attract a huge amount of interest from both corporate and individual charterers and 2005 is no exception. Sunsail’s yachts are often booked from year to year and rivalries are renewed in the very close racing on the water. Although there are some companies chartering for the Round the Island, the majority are individuals out to beat their rivals in the 60 boat matched fleet. Among the companies racing in Skandia Cowes Week are Pall Europe, NGT, Royal bank of Scotland and Skandia.

Just a few yachts and some individual places are still available for both events and anyone wishing to charter a boat or boat an individual space on board should urgently contact Sunsail on 02392 222221.

Cowes Week also carries with it the added attraction of Sunsail’s hospitality suite on the waterfront at Cowes Yacht Haven and the opportunity to win a Sunsail Mediterranean Club holiday for each member of the crew of the winning yacht, a prize valued at over £5000.

Commenting on the fierce competition within the Sunsail fleet, Chris Satchwell, UK Commercial Director of Sunsail Worldwide Sailing Holidays, said: “Both the JP Morgan Fleming Round the Island Race and Skandia Cowes Week attract crews who are at the very top of the yacht racing league. If anyone thinks the competition is not fierce, they should come and join a crew and see for themselves. It is as competitive and as close as any top fleet in Cowes and we still have some places available for those wishing to sign up.”
