Pantaenius UK were delighted to have been able to assist The Wetwheels Foundation assemble 5 of their fleet for the Solent Platinum Jubilee celebrations in Cowes on 6th August 2022. A charity breakfast at the Royal Yacht Squadron was followed by the sailing and motorboat community coming together on the water with over 400 boats welcoming HRH The Princess Royal (Patron of Wetwheels) and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence. The Princess boarded the Wetwheels Hamble catamaran in Cowes and made her way out to HMS Severn where she reviewed the fleet as they passed. A spectacular Spitfire display added to the parade to create a day to be remembered for many years to come.
A fundraising ‘Lunch on the Terrace’ supported by Pantaenius UK completed the day’s activities at Cowes Yacht Haven with supporters, staff and guests of The Wetwheels Foundation in attendance. The event raised over £12,000 for the charity to help them to continue in their fantastic work of providing barrier free boating to all.
