This year’s flagship S&CA Treasure Hunt event will be: ‘The Highland Dames’
The organiser for the Highland Dames is Jackie Thompson, skippering Temptress with her organising committee of Sarah Carter and Vikki Burridge.
The format will comprise an action packed series of prize-winning events on both water and shore so bring your fitness and stamina! All of the events will take place somewhere in or around eastern Solent and the yachts will return to their home berths on Sunday 25th June.
Further details of the daytime activities will be revealed on 24th June to skippers by WhatsApp Group messages.
The evening activity will be a Scottish themed fancy dress gala dinner at ‘Dunroamin Castle’ where we will dance the night away to all the hits of the summer Ibiza Club style.
We hope it will be a fun packed and exciting day with nautical challenges and drinking for each team consisting of a vessel and her crew. Victorious vessel crews will enjoy the spoils of war for winning various challenges. After dinner prizes will be awarded to the teams with best achievements through the day, and a special prize will go to the person wearing the most inventive Highlander ensemble. Pack your Sporrans!
Spaces are limited and we advise early registration to avoid disappointment. Registration costs £40 per person (for which each individual is responsible) and this will include a welcome drink and dinner at ‘Dunroamin Castle’. Each vessel will be responsible for catering for other meals.
