The British Virgin Islands, known among yachtsmen as the "Sailing
Capital of the World" has continued with its efforts to promote and support
yacht charters by sponsoring SAIL Magazine's new Charter Channel,
an online series of video segments devoted to educating and inspiring
travelers about yacht chartering. The 12 videos in the series are 4-6
minutes and each cover a different charter subject, including choosing
your charter boat, provisioning for a week-long charter, how to properly
moor a yacht, and all the ins and outs of a yacht charter trip.
SAIL Associate Editor
Meredith Laitos
hosts the videos, in which she walks viewers through helpful
informational topics. Her years of experience as a national college
sailing champion and consummate
Caribbean
charterer are evidenced through the relaxed and credible tone of the
videos. The first video in the series, which kicked off the official
launch of the channel in November, can be viewed at
www.sailmagazine.com/charter.
The
British Virgin Islands,
a base for a wide array of yacht charter suppliers, serves as the ideal
setting for the videos. Beyond practical information about yachts
themselves, the Charter Channel videos feature some of the incredible
destinations and yacht charter companies that can be found throughout
the
British Virgin Islands. With easy
island-hopping, line-of-sight navigation, steady winds, and a multitude
of sheltered anchorages – as well as a plethora of breathtaking natural
wonders, award-winning culinary options, world-class spas, and other
waterside activities – the BVI is the ultimate destination for charter
sailors and water-lovers alike. For more information on all the
unforgettable experiences available in the
British Virgin Islands, please visit
