‘The Heart of the Regatta’ and longest running RSL station in the UK

Streaming now!  With memorable material stretching back over the years, Cowes Radio is already streaming on the Internet. “With over a million minutes downloaded last Cowes Week, and the explosion of audio visual media content on the Internet this decade, I’m confident we’ll see that record truly smashed!” commented Steve Ancsell, the “Godfather’ of Cowes Radio.

Cowes Radio celebrates 25 years at the worlds’ greatest regatta, Cowes Week, and goes on air this Friday on 87.7FM as the longest running RSL station in the UK.

Luxury motor yacht manufacturer, Fairline Boats is introducing the all-new Squadron 41 at this year's PSP Southampton Boat Show, following the unveiling of plans for the model last September.

Making her first appearance at the Show, the new Targa 58 GRAN TURISMO will also be showcased. 
 
NEW SQUADRON 41
The Squadron 41 offers some of the largest accommodation areas on a boat of this size with every available space utilised and maximised to create the most voluminous 40 foot Fairline yet. Expansive use of glazing throughout includes feature skylights in the forward full beam master cabin to flood light and give a spacious, airy feeling. The same sense of space and 'big boat' luxury is further enhanced by the extra large flybridge and the openness of the cockpit.

Cowes Radio, the longest running Special Event Radio Station in the UK, is an award winning and integral part of Cowes Week and celebrates its 25th birthday during the forthcoming July 31st to August 7th 2010 regatta.

Streamed on the internet around the world at www.cowesradio.co.uk and listened to by many thousands of competitors and spectators attending Cowes Week on 87.7fm through speakers on Cowes Parade, the Green and through personal earpieces on the boats, the reporting and programme content provides an eclectic mix of regatta highlights, interviews and entertainment. More crucial information is included for competitors, with dedicated and detailed local weather reports, tide times and the all-important race results being broadcast.

There are only a few weeks to the close of entries at this year’s Rolex Commodores’ Cup. Whilst most teams have finalized their boats and crews, others are still engaged in discussions to determine their line-ups. For all teams, both settled and prospective, certain things are set in stone.

Most importantly there must be three boats, one in each of the stipulated rating bands, and, all teams must be on the starting grid for the first race on Sunday, 15 August. At present, organisers’, the Royal Ocean Racing Club are expecting 11 teams representing France, Ireland, Hong Kong, South Africa and the United Kingdom to contest the international trophy.

Huge savings to be made at Porto San Rocco Marina, on the coast of Italy, now selling duty free fuel to all vessels leaving the EU within eight hours of fuelling

Located in the Bay of Muggia, within the Gulf of Trieste, the position of Porto San Rocco in the northern Adriatic makes it the perfect base for cruising the Dalmatian coast of Croatia.  In June 2010 the marina has been granted permission to sell duty free fuel to all leisure craft and as Porto San Rocco is only 15 miles north east of Croatia, this leaves plenty of time to leave the EU within the eight hour time limit.

Roberto Sponza, Marina Director of Porto San Rocco said “This new ruling is fantastic news for all yachts passing through this area of the Adriatic.
