We look forward to seeing your beautiful vessel out in the water. I myself am sailing on the first rule 8 metre Njord.

British Classic Week is nearly here! ⛵

A highlight of the calendar, it’s always a fantastic week of close racing, beautiful boats and catching up with friends from across the industry.

Paul will be out on the water racing next week, so if you’re in Cowes, do say hello - whether it’s to talk classic yachts, restoration projects or future design ideas, it’d be great to catch up 😀

Good luck to everyone competing - see you in Cowes!

Join us on Emily of Cowes for this iconic July 11th race. The sun is likely to be shining! We have a couple of crew places to fill on our competitive 45ft yacht. No experience needed, just a willingness to be a team player. Our skipper has been on the podium for this race a number of times. He knows his way around the Isle of Wight 😉.
An intense sailing experience followed by an amazing party 🥳

Back in the 90s when I lived to the balearic beat we would do La Ruta de la Sal every year. It is my favourite yacht race. 200 yachts sailing from the mainland to Ibiza under the Easter full moon. Here we are at the prizegiving in 1998. George and Chang are no longer with us. Little Jamie Smith on the left of the photo is now a master mariner! Tomorrow I head back out there to prepare Emily of Cowes for the race. It will be my first time back in the race in 28 years. A trip down memory lane! I wonder if our course record of 8 hours 13 minutes still stands?
