Both RANGER and VELSHEDA will compete at this major sailing event in April 2009. Over the seasons each yacht has been a winner here, and this will again be a real test of performance and determination by each yacht in the big waves and strong wind conditions.
Reports and pictures will be posted here.

MAXI YACHT ROLEX CUP
SARDINIA September 2008
In the Cruising Division, John Williams and the J Class Ranger (CAY. IS) cruised seemingly effortlessly to their second consecutive Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup victory.
Four races, four bullets tell their own story. The reality on the race course was quite different with competition coming from the other J ClassVelsheda (GBR), the massive 44-metre Salperton (GBR), Hamilton II (GBR) and Hetairos (CAY IS).
