Thanks to Caroline for this latest news from the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance. Ed
Departing from Port Solent in Portsmouth, participants will sail with Sunsail Events on a fleet of Beneteau First 40 yachts, in the capable hands of fully qualified skippers. No previous sailing experience is necessary and all abilities will be catered for.
Already pledged
Local businesses already signed up for the regatta include BDO, Rathbone Brothers Plc, Brewin Dolphin and Bond Air Services.
Also taking part on the day will be Marcus de Ferranti, the newly appointed Chairman of Trustees of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance.
De Ferranti commented,
“The regatta is a novel way to raise money for the Air Ambulance, and at the same time the perfect opportunity to entertain clients, network or just to thank staff.”
The cost of entry for the regatta is £2,000 per yacht for a crew of eight, to include a significant donation to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance. Included in the entry fee is breakfast, a racing lunch and a champagne prize giving.
Any organisations interested in taking part should contact Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance Community and Corporate Fundraiser Alex Tredget on 02380 333377 or [email protected].
