Questions
Who is this for?
Crews and individuals who want to train and race but need support to do it. All-female, mixed, double handed or fully crewed.
Do we need a full crew or a boat?
No. Come on your own or as a group. We can help you find like minded crew, and you sail on the race yachts we book.
Is sponsorship guaranteed?
No, and we won't pretend it is. Sponsors back crews with a clear plan and a good story. We help you build both, then make introductions where there's a fit.
What does it cost?
The call is free. Training is from £350, racing from £375 and race boat charters from £800 a day. We'll talk through how discounts and sponsorship can bring that down.
What happens on the call?
A relaxed video call with a small group of crews. We'll talk through your pathways to sponsorship and the support Unity can give. No obligation.
Where do you sail from?
Mercury Yacht Harbour, Hamble (SO31 4HQ), on the Solent.
