Great Island Challenge

In it, the Raymarine YJA Yachtsman of the Year for 2004 expresses gratitude for this book about sailing’s inventors and innovations, which gave him, a man who had spent much of his life ‘messing about in boats’, a new insight into the history of his sport.

Based on and around the Isle of Wight, participants will have the opportunity to learn to crew a yacht then sail around the island then cycle around its 62 miles of hilly coastline. Each team of six people will be asked to raise £5,000 which will be used to support those in need from the maritime community. For further information contact lee.dobbins@seafarers-uk.org
