Palma based McMaster Yachts - New Silver Sponsor

We are proud to announce new silver sponsor McMaster Yachts, a friendly and knowledgeable management company in the business of smoothly run sailing superyachts. Based both in the UK and Palma de Mallorca they remove the burden of yacht ownership by supporting the captain and/or owner with everything from day to day operations to the management of a complete rebuild.

McMaster Yachts are a source of strength for a whole fleet of impressive sail yachts, like for example the 45m Dubois designed sloop Salperton. This award-winning performance-cruiser is a Superyacht Cup regular and competed for the last time in 2013 when she took third in class one. In the same year she also claimed overall victory in Porto Cervo and posted second place at the St. Barths Bucket. Sailing on board Salperton this year will be two-times Olympic medallist and Volvo Ocean Race winner Ian Walker. He was given the boats.com YJA Yachtsman of the Year Award last month! The accomplished Shirley Robertson will be at the helm, no less. She made it in the history books by becoming the first British woman to win two Olympic gold medals at consecutive games, Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004. What a team!
