Sailing Regattas
Every
year hundred's of regattas are organized all around the
world from various organizations and sailing clubs and
unions.
Yet, since this site is dedicated to yacht
charterers I will present you regattas where an individual
can participate -regardless of his sailing experience.
Usually an administrative fee is asked for participation in
such events and that is all.
This short of regattas
are usually organized from yachting clubs or charter
companies who have chosen this method for promoting their
company and operations, thus the fee for participation is
considerably less than what it would be if it was a normal
sailing cruise.
For the participants it is a very good
opportunity to experience a regatta's excitements without
really being sailing masters, neither spending a fortune for
that. |

2007 Blue Horizon
Cup |
 |
The Blue Horizon Cup
was originally organized 8 years ago in
Athens area, as an opportunity for
Europe Yachts -who are the Bavaria
representatives in Greece- to offer to
journalists from various yachting
magazines the chance to sail the latest
Bavaria models.
The success of the
event convinced Europe Yachts to
continuously organize the BHC every
single year
since then. Today, the BHC is a
rally combining fun, pleasure,
excitement and tourism, as during the
regatta (5 days) the most cosmopolitan
spots of the Ionian are visited.
The event is no longer a solely
journalist fiesta, but anyone who likes
to participate can do so.
The regatta will be from the 13th to the
20th of October 2007, starts from
Corfu
Island and includes one
training day, 5 sailing days and one day
for awards and trophies. There is
a set administrative fee of euros 285
for every participant and euros 40 for
any crew member who would like to
participate to the training course which
will take place on Saturday the 13th of
October.
The yachts you will sail with are the
Bavaria models of various size and age.
The boats should carry full professional
inventory (like life rafts and dingy) and
lightening them by removing such items
is not allowed. |

What to bring
with you |
| No matter where
your holiday destination may be, they have a
number of things in common: the sun, the sea and
the fact that you will need to live for the
duration on a yacht. There are a few items you
should not forget to take with you, as they will
make your life on board easier and safer... |
