SailTime Europe is launching a new base at Hamble Point Marina, which offers new and existing members the chance to enjoy the Solent, one of the UK’s top boating destinations. Said to be the centre of the UK yachting scene, Hamble is only a short journey away from most of the South of England.

The new base will be managed by SailTime’s Phillip Holroyd Smith. Appointed as SailTime Hamble’s Base Manager, he is also SailTime Corporate’s Business Development Manager. Phillip Holroyd Smith’s role is to grow SailTime Corporate as a separate division of SailTime Europe, offering boating experiences to a range of businesses and corporations throughout the UK and abroad. He will also manage the boats at Hamble Point Marina, which will include both sail and power boats, and develope the Hamble memberships to create a new network of members.

Phillip said “I was really impressed with the SailTime programme and what the company is able to offer to its members at a fraction of the price that it would normally cost. I can see huge potential for SailTime to develop and grow both at its new base in Hamble and through SailTime Corporate.  By implementing a complete sales strategy I hope to be able to offer SailTime and its members new opportunities and to take the company into new market areas.”

Another new SailTime base will also open in the near future at Lymington, and Sarah Collinson has been promoted to Base Manager of both the upcoming SailTime Lymington and existing SailTime Poole base.
