Summer 2008 sees Disco Inferno 3 in the Mediterranean for the whole season but there are a few events that we just couldn't miss, Cork Week & Cowes Week, so we've linked up with another boat so you can get out on the water. The experience will be the same as the Disco "a race experience", with you playing a vital part in the team.
Individual & Group Regattas
REGATTA 1 - CORK WEEK - 12th to 18th July 2008
REGATTA 2 - COWES WEEK - 2nd to 9th August 2008
REGATTA 1
CORK WEEK - Crosshaven, Cork, Ireland - 12th to 18th July 2008
Widely acclaimed as the the best regatta in the World (by those who haven't been to Antigua yet!). Cork Week is huge, it's only every two years so people make a special effort to cross the Irish Sea in search of fair winds, tideless courses and the famous black stuff by the gallon in the evenings.
The Royal Cork YC turns it's car park into the biggest tent city ever, with numerous bands and bars for everyone, its a real sight and only for the fit and healthy, as that much dancing can cause heart problems in the couch potato!
Cork Week 2006 was very popular and the event itself delivered an event which made you understand why everyone was so desperate to get there. On the Disco calendar that year it was the best regatta and that's coming from us sun lovers!
The Race Committee is of the highest standards, the courses are square and fair and the wind (almost) always co-operates and puts on a show resulting in some of the best racing of the season. Cork does attract hugh numbers and boats from all over the World.
To be a part of this ultimate team book early we don't expect places to be available long!!
Racing starts on Monday and it's everyday on the water with Friday being the last day. Fly over on Saturday and we can get out on the water to practise on Sunday.

REGATTA 2
COWES WEEK - Cowes, Isle of Wight - 2nd to 9th August 2008
The biggest regatta in the world with over 1000 boats and 8 days of challenging Solent racing, unmistakably the best regatta in England... Skandia Cowes Week is huge, it's a must every year. Experience some of the finest Solent racing, starts from the Royal Yacht Squadron Line, Pimms in the Yacht Clubs after racing, and plenty of it! Summer is just NOT complete until Cowes Week has been done, come rain or shine.
For 2008 we are offering the WHOLE of Cowes Week to individuals and groups, make this Cowes Week one not to miss. Imagine blasting along under kite just yards from Cowes Green and the crowds of spectators!
The parties are, of course, a blur from the black tie ball at the Royal Corinthian on the Tuesday, apres sail Pimms in the Island SC, Mount Gay rum at their Party, cheap tasting expensive lager in the marina beer tent with endless tribute bands to dance the night away to and of course the famous Cowes Week fireworks on the Friday night.
This is a complete package, all you need to do is turn up on Friday 1st for a welcome pint in the Pier View, with a bag full of sailing kit and hangover cures.
Oh yes, this year Cowes is going to be HUGE.

Individual Places - The price for regattas include racing on Disco or another boat for the regatta, regatta entry fees, moorings, drinking water & lunch on board each day. Please ask about accommodation choices available for the regatta.

Crew shirts (Individual Place Regattas only) - For each regatta we include ONE crew shirt logoed up with the Disco Inferno man and name plus the regatta. Everyone MUST race in an approved crew shirt so if you think you need more than one then extras can be purchased when you arrive at the regatta. On Disco Inferno we also do breathable Fast Dri crew shirts for racing (non regatta specific) that can be ordered before the event. Details follow nearer the time.

Skipper/Hostess Expenses - Your Skipper and 1st Mate/Hostess work hard to make your holiday on board a success whether it be a fun regatta or Caribbean cruise right through to the ARC. The skipper is constantly on alert day and night to ensure the safety of the yacht and the crew aboard and the Hostess ensures that the boat is always in top condition and puts together the very important crew social programme. As you will see from your programme your holiday includes some time ashore to sample local restaurants and bars. Of course you may be looking for a quiet night away from the rest of the group which is perfectly acceptable. However if you do decide to venture out as a group and would like your skipper and hostess to join you, please remember that what is your holiday is their job, they aren't on holiday and wouldn't normally dine out every night. If you would like to show your appreciation for all their hard work in making your holiday a success by asking them to join you for a night out then please be kind enough to pay for their food and drinks, this can come from your crew kitty or be split amongst the guests at the table. Thanks, it really is appreciated.
