Power and Sail Day

Combine the best of both worlds. A morning of high adrenalin, competing with your fellow guests in a treasure hunt around the Solent searching for clues on high speed skippered RIBs. Then spend the afternoon learning to sail on luxury, ocean going yachts, taking part in all the activities on board including helming, sail trimming and winching. A perfect combination to incentivise your team, reward your staff or just because it's all such great fun.

full description

Combining the best of both worlds with the thrill of high speed RIB rides and the challenge of sailing/racing 45+ft sailing yachts .

Guests are split into 2 groups. One group takes the RIB option for the morning activity, following clues around the Solent to complete their treasure hunt competition on the high speed trip of a lifetime. The RIB's are 7.8 meter 250hp vessels capable of reaching over 45knots.

The remaining group take the yachts for an exciting sail through the Solent. No previous sailing experience is necessary for guests to enjoy the activity. Guests will learn how to sail their boat under the expert tutelage of their skipper & crew, getting involved in all tasks, including helming, sail setting/trimming and navigation.
Depending on client requirements, a race course or yacht treasure hunt can be arranged as part of the sailing activity.

The yachts are modern matched 45-50ft yachts. These modern cruiser/racers combine comfort and ease of handling with exceptional race course performance to offer the perfect choice. The yachts are fully equipped with all safety gear, have state of the art navigation equipment and are certified by the MCA to carry up to 12 guests. There is a professional skipper and crew member on board to give guests the best possible encouragement and tuition throughout the day and also to ensure that all guests' needs are catered for.

All yachts and RIBs meet in Cowes for a lunch ashore at one of the fine pubs available.

In the afternoon the 2 groups are reversed allowing all guests to take part fully in both activities.

The event is completed with afternoon tea, Champagne and prize giving at one of the local yacht clubs in Hamble.
