The yacht is professionally maintained and raced competitively in major regattas and offshore events in the UK, Europe and the Caribbean. She comes with an extensive racing sail wardrobe and has been modified from the factory original for ease and functionality of racing.
Our Beneteau 47.7 is MCA-coded category 2 for 14 people and ISAF coded to Cat. 1 She sleeps up to 10 in four separate cabins, and all berths are equipped with lee cloths for use at sea.
Please view ‘Other Practical Information’ for more information on sail wardrobe and race results.
Arrive on the boat and meet your skipper and crew, followed by a safety brief and the regatta program. You will spend the day getting to know your crew.
There is usually one race per day lasting around 4 to 6 hours and most racing utilizes the many laid race marks around the Solent itself.
Accommodation isn’t included in this package so please find somewhere local to stay, however, if you are struggling to find somewhere please contact us to discuss and we will help find you a solution.
