No five-nil race this time!!
Everyone is having an absolutely amazing time watching the America’s Cup – it really is a spectacly to be seen. There are still regatta tickets (which buy you a place on a spectator boat), bareboats, RIBs, and luxury boats available to watch the remaining races. Details here.

Thinking of chartering in Belize? Our staff just returned from a charter there and found it to be modernising but still rustic, quiet and relaxed. It’s the perfect destination for those who want to be near nature and love Snorkelling and Diving – the reef is exceptional! Catamaran charters are becoming very popular in Belize, out of San Pedro or Placencia.
For full details click on Belize Yacht Chartering.

It might just be idle gossip, and it might really be that our friends in Valencia have seen something, but the word on the docks at the America’s Cup is that Alinghi has been significantly faster than Emirates Team New Zealand when they’ve practiced head to head. If it’s true, you heard it here first! If not, well, who trusts gossip anyway?

We had the pleasure of sailing in the Voile d’Antibes on Saturday aboard SAVANNAH. SAVANNAH finished first in its class “Yachts Esprit de Tradition” – classic yachts that have been modified with modern materials. Here are some of the gorgeous views from the day.
