2008 Yacht Charter season

It seems it is getting earlier each year, we are already taking bookings for next years regattas and corporate sailing days. It seems that Cowes Week 2008 is going to be popular once again as well as the 2008 Round the Island race.

Its been great to already hear from our clients thats came sailing with us in 2007, and even better the fact that they are already booking for the 2008 yacht charter season. We are looking forward to summer, saying that the other Pronavia 38 that is down doing yacht charter in Gibraltar is still sailing in some great weather, check out their great race training weekends and race training weeks.

The Pronavia 38 and Reflex 38 are fantastic performers under race conditions and are based on a recognised high performance IRC yacht design.
