"The World cup-winning England International and recent Lions test player Joe Worsley enjoyed some fantastic sailing and entertainment last year in Cowes courtesy of Clipper, Henri Lloyds’s TP52, The Extreme 40’s and Peppermint Shepards Wharf - in order get a feeling for the event and to announce his testimonial year. The Lions’ back row continues his testimonial year by returning to sailing in Cowes week on board one of Clipper Ventures’ Round the World 68ft yachts competing in the Ondeck Ocean Racing Class."
"Joe’s testimonial dinner at Twickenham back in October saw eight lucky guests successfully bid an auction to join Joe and fellow England and Lions internationals Simon Shaw and Tim Payne as they compete in Cowes week on Thursday 6th and Friday 7th August. The crew will be based in Cowes for three days on a Thames sailing barge named “Alice” and have a packed schedule including being hosted by Peppermint Events at Shepards Wharf, sailing classes and coming alongside Trinity landings on Friday night."
