4-6 May 2012
We would like to make owners aware that official online registration is open on our website for our owners to enter their X-Yacht into the Solent Cup 2012.
We are also delighted to announce our after dinner guest speaker will be hosted by world renowned Dee Caffari MBE. In 2006, Dee was the first woman to sail single-handedly and non-stop around the world against the winds and tides. She then went on to be the first woman to circumnavigate the world solo, non-stop and in both directions on completing the Vendee Globe in 2009. By 2011, she was the only woman on Earth to have sailed non-stop around the world three times. She will be delivering an inspirational speech after dinner at the X-Yachts Gala dinner on Saturday 5 May.
We can confirm that Jochem Visser will also be giving complimentary weather and tide briefings for the day ahead, on the mornings before racing on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 May, at the Royal Southern Yacht Club.
