Cowes Week 2009 – best ever result with 5th place
GFT entered Cowes Week in the Isle of Wight in August, joining nearly 900 boats and 8,000 competitors from around the world, novices and Olympic athletes alike, to race on Britain’s south coast.
Captained by Nick Goodhew (Finance Director, GFT UK) for the company’s fourth year, the GFT yacht raced in IRC Class 5 in a fleet of 40 and achieved its best result, 5th over the water on the Wednesday; equalling
GFT’s best ever result at Cowes Week.
The crew all enjoyed the competitive and social aspects of the regatta, as well as taking an active part in the racing. Being on board the GFT yacht allows plenty of time for bonding through a unique shared experience; the good days, bowling along in sunshine and a good breeze, to the slightly less good days on the rail in a strong wind and high seas. Still, there’s always the networking after the racing to look forward to!
