The Manches Cup is a large Solent sailing regatta for the legal community that this year will take place between Friday 18th and Sunday 20th May 2012 from Port Hamble Marina, just under a month away!

Crews from law firms, barristers, chambers and suppliers to the legal industry can take part across a range of classes no matter what level of sailing experience they have.

 

In addition to the sailing racing there are plenty of events going on ashore including a regatta party and dinner – great opportunity for networking or just socialising!

Let us know if you need a Rib to get out on the water and keep up with the action!

Bareboat Rib Charter

Published on April 18, 2011 in Rib Charter and Solent News. 0 Comments

Easter weekend is almost here, followed by the additional Royal Wedding Bank Holiday…with all these extra free dates in your diary what better thing to do than bareboat charter a Rib on the Solent! Our Ribs are fast, fun, safe and immaculately presented. All of our boats are Coastguard coded and under 3 years old. With anything from 1 up to 10 day card rates available (which do not have to be taken consecutively) for 6.8 or 7.8 m Ribs it has never been easier to get out on the Solent, or any other coastal areas for that matter, and enjoy the lovely predicted sunshine with friends or family

All you need to charter is a RYA Powerboat Level 2 qualification or an International Certificate of Competence with an appropriate level of experience; if this is not something you currently have we provide you with training from our chief Instructor Adam Wilson.

All change at Solent Rib Charter

Chris Welch, our stalwart event manager, is leaving us to build a new life in Australia with his new wife Jo. We wish Chris all the best and we’re really sorry to see him go.

He is being replaced by human dynamo Hannah Clark, who joins us from our land event sister company Progressive Resources. Hannah is an excellent event organiser and brings a huge amount of energy to the task.

She will be introducing herself to our clients over the coming months.

Rib charter fleet ‘good as new’

Published on May 12, 2010 in Rib Charter. 0 Comments

Every year we bring our fleet of ribs indoors to return them to a state of literally ‘as good as new’. Components are replaced or polished in an uncompromising process which takes several days for each boat.

This year we were able to do this in our new purpose built workshop, which made the task much easier. The last of our matched fleet of 24 ribs is now in the warehouse.

We believe that we have the best maintained and tidiest rib charter fleet in the world. Our commitment to excellence is boundless and our regular clients have come to expect no less, which is why most of our business is repeat.

Preparing for Rib charters in 2010

Published on February 24, 2010 in Cowes Week and Rib Charter. 0 Comments

We’re preparing for the 2010 season. We now have 20 matched Ribs and a selection of other boats which have been passing through our new workshop one by one to have a full service and replacements of anything that is not completely up to scratch. We are fastidious about our boats which is one of the reasons why we are Europe’s leading Rib charter company.
Cowes Week is 31st July to 7th August in 2010. It’s the main event of the year and we will be welcoming large numbers of corporate clients down to the area over the week.
Another event that we’re looking forward to is the official opening of our new office, warehouse and workshop space in Lymington. We have 1,500 square feet of premium office space and 3,000 square feet of storage and warehouse. We built this to our own specification. On 27th May we will be having an open day with ther building officially opened by Dame Ellen MacArthur.

So, 2010 is going to be a busy year.
