In September 2012 Natasha sailed “MissIsle Too” around the Isle of Wight in her first charity challenge, raising over £17,000. She was in full control of helm and sails thanks to the Sip and Puff technology installed on the new boat. She had to be at Cowes Yacht Haven around 05:00 for her boat to be ready, support boats in place and then off out to the start.
