It was ship ahoy on the Solent last week with Novia Global’s head of distribution Chris Skelhorn bravely taking four novices out for a sail across to the Isle of Wight.

The crew included Novia’s redoubtable PR Pippa Russell and FA features editor Melanie Tringham, who learned in double quick time how to raise a sail and steer in a straight line.

Luckily, Mr Skelhorn was an experienced skipper, so even the renditions of Taylor Swift songs and requests for champagne from the ‘girls for sail’, did not deter him from getting the boat home in one piece.
