Richard Williams, Liberty Global – Skippered Charter on Southerly 42 “Firesong”

Just a short note to thank you for helping me set up a great few days sailing for me and my colleagues last week. The skipper Peter was excellent and helped us get the most from our experience – and the boat was fabulous and the weather came through in the end. I organised this sailing trip over 3 days for my team. Picking up and dropping them off at various locations in the Solent. Chris was very helpful in confirming the feasibility of my itinerary and selecting the right boat. We chose ‘Firesong’ – and she was a cracker. Very well equipped and a joy to sail – particularly in strong winds. Which was fortunate as we had gale force winds on the first day! Fortunately, the gales only lasted for the first day and the weather was absolutely perfect with good winds and sunshine for the remaining days. Under the superb guidance of Peter our pro skipper we managed to cover most of the Solent from Wootton to the Needles. All the pick-ups and drops offs went to plan and my colleagues, mostly novices, had a great time – which they will remember for many years to come. Finally thanks to Melanie who worked in the background at Universal helping to put it all together.
