For many the New Year brings resolutions and goal setting as we aim to better ourselves and our world. Have you set your ambitions and goals for the New Year and the new decade?

Sailor Geoff Holt has already achieved one of his goals. On 7th January 2010 he became the first quadriplegic to sail across the Atlantic to the same destination where 26 years ago, a diving accident left him paralysed. Geoff’s achievement proves that no goal is out of reach, if we really want it! Click here to find out more about Geoff at http://www.personalatlantic.com/

With the 33rd America’s Cup beginning next month between Swiss Defender ‘Alinghi’ and the  American challenger ‘BMW Oracle’, a book that you won’t be able to put down is ‘Born to Win’ by John Bertrand. His belief that he could take the Cup from the American’s back home to Australia in the 1983 challenge will inspire you to come sailing (or racing!).

If you’re up for some great sailing this year, we have very exciting and diverse programme including cruises across the Channel to France, the Channel Islands and the Greek Islands, our hugely popular range of RYA courses in the Solent and racing in our new J80, ‘Wairua’.

Happy goal setting and see you on the water!
