I am very grateful to Simon Taylor and all at Boroughbridge Marina for supporting me through help with getting the kit I need for the Clipper Race. Sailing round the world involves acquiring a number of specialist items, from technical clothing to dry bags, to ensure everything stay dry throughout the race. All this adds up, so the fact that Boroughbridge Marina was able to offer me a special discount has made a significant difference to my kit budget.

As well has having a chandlery and boat sales, Boroughbridge Marina offers fully floating pontoons, marina facilities, cruiser lifting, boat hard standing and trailer storage, slipway facilities and engineering services. All this in easy reach of the A1 and River Ure. Do having a look at their website which can be found here.
