RIB Bluesprint
Event summary:

For an active day out with clients or staff this can’t be beaten. A thrilling combination of Whitbread 60 Blueprint, one of the fastest yachts in the UK, and a very rapid 200hp RIB.

W-60 Blueprint is a pedigree racing yacht and former speed record holder. She took part in the Whitbread Round the World Race and is still in its original race condition. During the day everyone will be involved in all the activities from sail changes, tacking and gybing, working the coffee grinders (winches) and steering this formula 1 style machine. During the day the skipper will have everyone working together as a slick team to sail this yacht to speeds which most sailors simply dream about and there is nothing better than speeding past all other yachts in the Solent!

RIB Bluesprint is guaranteed to put a smile on everyone's face as you are transferred from the yacht aboard for a blast around the Solent. An expert skipper will take your guests for high speed runs, rapid turns, and wave jumping with a splash or two of water. There is also an opportunity for participants have a go at driving the beast and experiencing the rapid acceleration and agility.

Lunch is ashore with a three course lunch in a premier seafood restaurant in Cowes, with wine, water, tea and coffee, it provides an natural break to the day and allows your entire group to sit round a table to discuss the mornings adventures!

The afternoon is normally a relaxed sail and powerboat back to Southampton, with plenty of opportunity to put the morning’s skills into practice.
