Mariner Boating will operate a Beneteau First 45 one design yacht rally in Croatia in June 2011. This is a rare opportunity to charter a genuine racer/cruiser with a full rig, racing keel, sail drive and folding propeller while at the same time enjoying the luxury of a trademark Beneteau cruising set up.  The rally will start in Split and sail through the Dalmatian Islands for which Croatia has become world famous.

The also famous Mariner Boating rally format boasts more lay days than races so there will be plenty of time in the program to step ashore, set yourself down in a cafe and watch the world go by or scramble over one of the many medieval and beautifully preserved cities along the way. Alternatively you can drift off to a bay, drop the pick and rediscover the meaning of life. The Mariner Boating program also offers pre and post rally luxury hotel accommodation, pre-arranged berthing facilities at the marinas along the way, full time technical assistance to ensure the perfect operation of your yacht and a busy social program that will enormously enrich the whole experience.

The rally will be escorted so you also have the added advantage of access to extensive local knowledge.....what a combination. By participating in the Vicsail Beneteau regatta you are already entered in the draw and then if you do the Sail Port Stevens week and/or the Metal Mesh Cup on Pittwater you will receive an additional ticket for each of those races. There are only 10 yachts available for this rally so if you want your name on one of them phone Mariner Boating Holidays today on 99661244, or email trevor@marinerboating.com.au  www.marinerboating.com.au
