Charter Boats

If you would like to attend the 2009 European Championships but don't want to fly your boat half way around the world, or perhaps you don't own a Musto Skiff but would like to attend the event then you are in luck as there will be a number of charter boats available.

Also - if you own a Musto Skiff and can't attend the European Championships this is an opportunity to help a fellow sailor and make a bit of money by chartering your boat out to an overseas sailor.

If you are interested in using a charter boat or loaning out your boat for charter then please contact paul Manning

Travelling to a regatta in Europe - Top 10 things to remember by Paul Manning Many sailors may be attending this Championship as their first major international event, so I thought it might be of assistance to note down a few points of things easily forgotten or overlooked. More >>>

Winning in the Italian lakes - by Mark Rushall Sun, wind, good food, food wine, and a great atmosphere. Many UK and International classes include a visit to one of the lakes in their fixture list, and those who haven’t yet tried it are missing out on a fantastic experience. Most first time visitors will be sailing from Torbole or Riva on Lake Garda, or Gravedona on Lake Como. Since similar principles apply at many other mountainous lake venues, we will focus on these venues.
