Sailing offer promises Josse day out

THE opportunity to sail with one of the world’s greatest yachtspeople is being offered to Scottish journalists.

Eight places are up for grabs for what will be an hour or two’s sailing with Sebastien Josse, by the Forth Rail Bridge.

Behind the offer is BT Scotland’s press office. Josse has sailed single-handed round the world three times, won the Fastnet and competed in the greatest race of all, the Vendee Globe.

The Frenchman’s 60-ft ocean racer, BT, will be berthed at Port Edgar Yacht Club, South Queensferry, a fortnight on Thursday.
