08:30 Guests are met by a Race1 representative at the Royal Southern Yacht Club in Hamble, where they are introduced to their Skipper over a Breakfast of bacon rolls and Danish pastries.
09:15 Breakfast over; yacht crews are taken down to their respective yachts, where a comprehensive Safety Briefing is conducted.
10:30 Lines are slipped and the yacht departs for the Solent – probably the most famous sailing waters in the World.
11:00 Guests are assigned roles on board the yacht and general sailing manoeuvres are practiced under the expert guidance of your Race1 Skipper.
12:00 Race 1: Yachts converge on a start line just off the Royal Yacht Squadron (the most famous yacht club in the World) for the first of three informal races.
13:00 A tasty buffet lunch is served afloat as team tactics are discussed for the afternoon’s racing.
13:45 Race 2: Time to either consolidate your position from race1 or perhaps avenge your result!
15:00 Race 3: And all to play for. By now the teams are finely honed and poised like a coiled spring for that start gun.
16:30 Racing over, it’s a gentle sail back to the Royal Southern Yacht Club where cream teas and jam scones are served over a fun prize giving.
17:00 Once tales of victory are told, or indeed those of defeat ‘grabbled from the jaws of victory, guests depart at their leisure.
