"The allocation of places in the race will operate on a "first come first served" basis and will be subject to completion of the experience and training qualification requirements."
The Reflex 38 "Jaguar" is up for sale. Boasting a brand new mast, new rigging and excellent race sails, Jaguar is one of the best examples of this very successful offshore racing yacht design.
Priced at £57,500 plus VAT, Jaguar has a guaranteed income for the 2009 racing season, making her a cost effective way of owning a Reflex 38 racing yacht.

Jaguar Logic GBR 7382R
?Jaguar? was designed by Christian Stimson and built by Harley Race Boats of Cowes, Isle of Wight. She was launched in June 1999, as the third yacht of a fleet of 10 racing charter boats for Sir Robin Knox-Johnston?s company, Clipper Ventures. In September 2002 Clipper Ventures suspended their Reflex 38 charter operations and Jaguar was bought by Allie Smith, Managing Director of Sailing Logic Ltd, and re-named Jaguar Logic in May 2003. Allie has owned Jaguar Logic since then.
Jaguar Logic is ideal for anyone looking for a good value, solid, competitive racing yacht in ?ready to go? condition. She is available to place straight into the charter market and is VAT reclaimable. If she is kept in current management, she has good charter bookings available for 2009 season including Warsash Spring Series, Round the Island Race, Fastnet Race and Little Britain Challenge Cup. Jaguar is generally regarded as one of the best equipped and probably one of the fastest two of the Reflex 38 fleet (Puma Logic being the other) and has many successes racing under IRC (see list).
She was used lightly until 2005 when she started racing regularly with Sailing Logic and achieving the results as set out below. She has been fully optimised for racing with a revised deck layout including double downhaul system, double vang system, upgraded purchase back stay system and upgraded multi-purchase system for genoa cars. She has a new rig (Z-Spars) plus new rod rigging in August 2008 and is due her mid-term Mecal survey in March 2009.
She is berthed at Shamrock Quay Marina with berthing fully paid until March 31st, 2009.
Jaguar Logic has a 2008 Endorsed IRC TCF of 1.067
Jaguar Logic is based at Shamrock Quay Marina, Southampton, UK

Owner?s Comments:
Jaguar Logic has been considerably modified from the standard Clipper Reflex 38.
The hull to keel joint has been professionally faired by Bare Marine Ltd.
The upgraded mainsail boom gives added security when racing or long distance sailing.
A great day was had by all, we left Lymington at 8am, and was back in Hythe at 4pm, a very quick sail round with amazing weather for this time of year.
Once in a while when we know the weather is going to be terrible we always allow the client to change the date of their charter, in the case of this last weekend the client decided to go sailing despite the weather. Now when a client decides to go, there are 2 items on the agenda, firstly safety and secondly making sure you can have fun. Safety is without doubt the most important and especially when you are expecting a blow, but the fun aspect goes to another level in these conditions. Yes you are going to get wet and wind swept - but the speed and adrenalin are going to be great.
I arrived in the office this morning with wet gear every where, and the yacht interior was positively moist, but the smiles on the clients faces and the reports back from them told a story of total enjoyment. Obviously we are not all fair weather sailors and it seems that even these very windy, cold and extremely wet days can be enjoyed just as much.
