"Bellerophon
of Wight" is a Sigma 38 and a fine example of her class.
She is well maintained, taking advantage of a regular winter refit
to keep her in top condition.
There is accommodation for a maximum of ten people aboard with
three cabins, two doubles and a twin, with four in the main saloon.
Her luxuries include a cool box for the champagne and food and
a heater for the chill evenings at either end of the season.

A typical
day would be to meet the yacht in Cowes, a safety briefing before
setting sail to familiarise everyone with what to expect. A lunchtime
venue is often pre arranged with regard to weather and tides.
Plenty of time is set aside to enjoy the meal with perhaps a pre
luncheon drink. Then an afternoon sail with a tour of some of
the famous sights in the area before returning to Cowes to have
a little while to explore the town before returning to the mainland.

If organising
the supplies is just another job for a galley you have never seen
and there are more important tasks to be done, then we are the people
to provide for your requirements. We have much experience in catering
afloat from the impressive lunch to the wholesome meal when underway.
We aim to ensure that no one goes hungry as sea air and some exercise
is known to increase the appetite.

For the large
events involving more than one day there are a variety of ideas
of where to stay. Sleeping aboard is the cheapest option although
generally not guaranteeing a peaceful night.
There are many types of accommodation in the town, from bed and
breakfast to the comfortable hotel. Although this does need to be
booked well in advance. The same applies to restaurants ashore.

What better
way to say thank you to your customers than to take them out on
the Solent, the home training ground of the GBR Challenge. Enjoy
a day afloat with the warm summer breeze to blow you along and not
a care in the world until the sun sets.
A beautiful anchorage, perhaps in sight of Queen Victoria’s
Osborne House, where a sumptuous lunch can be enjoyed at leisure.
Before a return sail, a chance to try a go at the helm or trim a
sail or just watch the water go by if that is all that is required.

Do you wish
to mould together your office team, smooth out the odd niggles or
even see who will work efficiently under pressure before a promotion
is given?
The ideal environment to test the individual as well as the team.
Away from the distractions of work and home, all concentration can
be given to the matter at hand.
