Great Customer Photo

Summer is here and we're loving it on the boats. With sea breezes kicking in and blue skies, there's no better time to be sailing on the Solent. Here's a photo sent in by Anita and Uli from the trip on Sunday - as you can see, Dave is trying his best to catch a waterbomb - unfortunately it burst... But what amazing timing with the camera! 

Winter Series Ocean Race Yacht Experience dates listed

With many of our summer weekend dates already sold out, this year we've decided to list our exciting Winter Series Ocean Race Yacht Experience dates early - opening them up for booking NOW! Proving a fantastic and popular trip last year, the Winter Series days usually enjoy a bit of 'real' weather allowing us to have a good thrash around the Solent! No need to worry about the cold - with full offshore waterproofs and unlimited hot drinks provided throughout the day, you'll be too busy to feel the elements as we work the boat around the Solent. Check out the dates in October and November in the drop down box on the Ocean Race Yacht Experience page.

What amazing weather we're having - could do with a little more wind at times, but at least it's warm! Check out our latest video blog filmed on our round the Island Day on the 3rd of June - video of the yachts sailing past the Needles, as well as Blueprint being buzzed by a plane. We're starting to get stuck for ideas for video blogs - so if you've got any ideas of what you would like to see, please email us, or comment on a blog and we'll get it filmed! (within reason...!)
