Activity: Brighton Marina Match Racing - Sigma 8m
Match Yacht Racing from Brighton Marina
On a match racing day we can charter six identical yachts for a challenging series of sailing races. So whether you're looking for a competitive day out of the office or if you have a group of friends who desire an exhilarating day on the water then the Match Racing Day is for you. No previous sailing experience is necessary.
Yacht racing has long been trusted as a superb team building developer, testing individuals and teams alike to perform under pressure of competition.
The boats are Sigmas 8s, picked for their race pedigree and nimble attributes and we have six of these at our disposal. With a crew of five and the skipper we can offer a Match Racing Experience for up to thirty sailors from the base in Brighton Marina!
A sailing day does not require any previous experience as full instruction will be available through out any day afloat.
Whether you're looking for a relaxing experience or a dynamic and exciting activity, yacht racing will be the answer, with a little sophistication thrown in.
The itinerary for a perfect sailing day out
The yachts are Sigmas 8s (or similar), picked for their race pedigree and nimble attributes.
Every yacht comes with a skipper and with a little practice they are easy to master.
9.30am The professional qualified staff will greet you for breakfast (additional cost), followed by a briefing from our operations manager on the days activities.
9.45am Sailing familiarisation on board the yachts. The skippers teach novices the basics and share their knowledge with those with more experience. By the end of the morning, everyone is prepared for the afternoons activities.
12.30pm Return to shore for lunch followed by a race briefing and the usual taunts of who will be victorious by the end of the day!
14.00pm Set sail again for a series of short races between the boats. As the yachts are identical the racing is very tactical and extremely exciting.
17.00pm De-brief and presentation.
After the race, you will return to the mooring and then over to the Yacht Club for the race results.
These easy to handle yachts are designed for exhilarating close quarter racing. Again you will have full use of the qualified staff to ensure a fun packed time on the water.
