Cost: you pay for your flights and the food.
You make a contribution to the running costs, marina fees and fuel, £330 per adult sailing week and pay for our evening meals. If however you are a disabled veteran, talk to me and we will come to a mutually agreeable arrangement. Either way, you all you come as friends, colleagues, and or acquaintances. There is always beer and some other drinks on board.
I am hoping to find sponsorship, I already have help from PredictWind, Whales Pumps, Precision Sails, Atlantic Towers and BLESMA.
(If any company would like to help, the mainsail is available for your graphic/Logo).
If you wish to help or contribute contact me at Tiggersyacht@gmail.com or follow the link on the main page.
