Solent Rib Charter

The J Class Association has announced that Solent Rib Charter (SRC) has been chosen as the official Rib partner for this summer’s regattas. Having one official partner organisation will allow closer communication between the JCA and spectator Ribs, leading to safer on the water operations and better viewing for spectators. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/138297/image/large-421b0632aaa130b39d5046e2c6f67dbc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/138297">Solent Rib Charter is Europe’s largest Rib Charter Operator with over 30 Ribs.

We can offer our fleet to those wanting to watch the racing, and our experience and knowledge of big events to the J Class Association for marshalling duties. Spectators are welcome to book individual places or charter a private boat”. Solent Rib Charter will take on the responsibility for providing Rib charter for spectators and the press, dealing with enquiries and ticketing, as well as carrying out marshalling duties. SRC’s experience at large, prestigious events with supporters and press convinced the JCA that they would provide a safer experience for everybody on the water. Additionally, it was essential for the JCA to partner with a company capable of handling numerous enquiries to watch the fleet racing, leaving the Association to concentrate on the race programme!J Class Association <a href="mailto:info@jclassyachts.com?subject=Article%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">info@jclassyachts.com</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.jclassyachts.com">www.jclassyachts.com</a>
