The Osprey Class Association boat "Six Pack" is available for hire throughout the winter months.
The Class Association would like to hear from any teams who would like to hire the boat for all or part of the winter and to compete in multi class events including the Sailjuice Series and/or the Sailing Southwest Winter Series. Six Pack is one of the latest epoxy Mark 6 Ospreys provided by Hartley Boats. It is powered by a raking carbon rig and the very successful Hartley Boat sails. The fit out is based on the experience of several successful Osprey teams and represents the state of the art in this highly competitive fleet.
The boat has been extensively used throughout the 2026 season and has been instrumental in introducing new and younger sailors into the fleet. It competed at the 2026 National Championships at Mounts Bay finishing a very creditable 15th in the 45 boat fleet.
Osprey's have performed well in the winter series in recent years. Roger and Jamie Blake have frequently been prize winners in the Sailjuice series, and the previous Class Association boat in the hands of Peter Gray and Geoff Edwards won the Sailjuice series in 2022/23. Osprey's have also won several of the Sailing Southwest Series events over the years.
The Class Association objective with Six Pack is to encourage younger sailors to experience single trapeze symmetric spinnaker sailing within a very friendly and sociable fleet.
An application form and loan agreement for the Class Boat can be found on the Osprey Class website, ospreysailing.org.uk or by email to .
We look forward to hearing from you.
