Cloud Data at the Silicon Cup

The Cloud Data team and some of our clients enjoyed a fantastic day's sailing yesterday on board 'The Bare Necessities' during the Equinix Silicon Cup.

Over 40 racing yachts were chartered by IT companies and 2 races were held in the Solent in the afternoon.  The Bare Necessities sailed alongside the racing fleet, giving all on board an excellent vantage point to watch the amateur racers and smile at the mistakes they made!

The evening's gala dinner had a Venetian masked ball theme, and the Cloud Data team draw for masks somewhat backfired on the organiser, who ended up with the most flamboyant mask of all!

All in all the event was a great experience - good sailing weather, good company, an opportunity to make new contacts and refresh some older ones, and all whilst helping to raise money for the event's three nomionated charities - the Jubilee Sailing Trust, the NSPCC and Dreams Come True
