ANTIGUANICE YACHTING INSIDER NEWSLETTER

We are delighted to announce that over the last few months, the Sailing Rallies team has been able to negotiate lower prices with its suppliers and has also received great support from its sponsors.  We are now in a position to be able to pass all these savings onto our valued participants!

This means that we can offer a much lower price (almost £1,000 less) for the Christmas Caribbean Rally 2013. Those who have booked and paid already need not worry, as their entries are also being adjusted in line with the new prices.
