Beautiful, vibrant and exciting, the Isle of Wight is an international centre for sailing, so when UKSA bought Gipsy Moth IV and decided to re-create Sir Francis Chichester’s historic voyage we were a natural choice to sponsor her as a premier partner.
Gipsy Moth perfectly reflects the Isle of Wight’s spirit of challenge and adventure, helping the people who sail on her to achieve more than they ever thought possible. It’s about courage, determination, teamwork and fulfilling your dreams – the Isle of Wight wants to encourage this in everyone living here.
