What a difference a few weeks make. Do you remember the fun we used to have?
To help you through your isolation, here are a few pictures from the Class Dinner we held on 8th February at the Royal Thames Yacht Club. Fantastic food and service provided by the club, excellent music from Red Line DJs and a great selection of prized organised by Chris and presented by Jo.
Thank you all for supporting this event. We hope to be back on the water and in the party spirit again soon.
Sevenstar have approached the class with an offer for those hoping to participate at Cork 300 /the IRC Europeans. They have agreed a partnership and have managed to get a good deal on the port call costs in Cork. This has lowered the cost for the shipment significantly and as such Sevenstar can now offer affordable mast-up, keel-on transports to Cork and back.

Planned loading days between 16-30th June
Ocean freight yacht £ 8,900 GBP
Cork 300 Week 13 -18th of July
Transport: Cork to Southampton – mast up
Planned loading days between 20 – 27th July
