Newhaven Port & Properties
Newhaven Port & Properties Ltd, the Statutory Harbour Authority responsible for the management and safety of the Port of Newhaven have again offered the Royal Escape Race some very welcome support as a race sponsor.
Sailors racing with us in 2012 will be toasting the Port Of Newhaven with liquid prizes kindly donated by the port and we hope to welcome both Capt François JEAN, Port Manager and Patrick JEANNE Mayor of Fécamp and NPP Chairman to the Champagne Cocktail Prizegiving Reception in Fécamp.
So if you need to get your supporters or anyone else for that matter over to France for the Royal Escape Race celebrations don't forget the easiest route by far is from Newhaven to Dieppe.
