Red Admiral in Jester Challenge
Contessa 26 Red Admiral with skipper Guy Waites take on the Jester Challenge.

Guy Waites said "Over the past 17 years I have raced and delivered boats from 24 ft to 75 ft, with weekend sailors to Whitbread rock stars, during which time I have worked my way through the RYA's syllabus until passing my Yachtmaster's exam in 2000, but all the while I've had one burning ambition..... to sail single handed across an ocean!"

New sponsor for Henry

Aspiring young offshore sailor, 19 year old Henry Bomby, who will be sailing solo around Britain this summer has recently received an extra boost by attaining lead sponsorship from the Seahorse restaurant in Dartmouth, run by celebrity restaurateur and writer Mitch Tonks. His voyage will start and finish in his home port of Dartmouth in June. Henry will sail his Contessa 26 ‘Seahorse’ anti-clockwise, along the way competing in the Round the Island Race, the J80 European Championships as well as climbing the three peaks. Henry said he is delighted to have such an enthusiastic partner for the project in the Seahorse restaurant.
