The Polar Front are very proud to announce that Polar Bear will be racing in this summer's Fastnet Race. The campaign has been organised by Bill Holt and Mark Styles and a team of dedicated racers have already begun training.
Last weekend was the first 'team building' experience and proved to be a huge success for all onboard. Polar Bear, just out of refit and back on the water, was powering beautifully through a northerly swell and happy to be off the lead again!
After two days of race preparation, hundreds of manoeuvers and a few runs ashore, the team and the boat were at one with each other !
The Fastnet Race is one of the most famous offshore races in the world. The fleet start in the Solent and head out to Fastnet Rock off the south coast of Ireland, then return to Plymouth and the finish line, 605 miles later.
At this stage we are awaiting confirmation of two chosen charities which we hope can raise vital funds and publicity from the efforts of the team. Keep posted for more information
