SeaDream to Host World-Renowned Rugby Player, Gavin Hastings -

Sailing aboard SeaDream I in the Caribbean, November 2011

(Miami, Florida) - April 19, 2011 – This is the first time small-ship operator SeaDream Yacht Club has hosted a UK-based sports personality on board. Gavin Hastings, widely respected as one of the best rugby players of his generation, amassed 733 points in Test Match rugby over a 10-year period. He captained every team he ever played for, including Scotland, the Barbarians and the Lions. He won his first Cap for Scotland in the mid 1980s and thereafter followed 60 further Caps, including 20 as Captain. He retired having played in the first three Rugby World Cups and toured with the British Lions to Australia in 1989 and as Captain to New Zealand four years later. Gavin remains the second highest points scorer in Rugby World Cup history. During this voyage, guests aboard SeaDream’s deluxe, mega-yacht, SeaDream I, will have stimulating insight from Gavin into what it takes to be a great team player and leader.

Gavin is sailing with SeaDream immediately upon his return from the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.
