Own Boat Tuition Grand Soleil 50

Challenger is a brand new 50 foot Grand Soleil based in Frejeus France. She has an extended racing rig and deep 3m keel and as our Intructors found out has an impressive turn of speed. With a Code 5 gennaker in racing red to match the hull she turned heads in St Tropez. The owner had asked for an Instructor to help set up the yacht for racing and give tuition to him and his family. Following on from the first week which saw his crew coming and going due to volcanic ash disruption our Instructors have been invited back for more RYA Sail Training this month. Challenger is a quick yacht, points well, and enjoyable to sail short handed with electric winches to the main halyard and genoa sheets. We'll be out on Challenger again next week so if you are in Cannes, Nice, Monaco or St Tropez and see the only racing red Grand Soleil 50 give us a call on 16.
