Our experienced race skippers will guide you through the course and along with our race training you will be part of a competitive team for this event. In previous races, our yachts have always achieved very good results in their class. In 2023 ‘EH01’ and her race crew achieved 3rd in Class IRC 2 & in 2022 she achieved 2nd in Class.
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.
