Corsica

We are planning to take a couple of OCR boats to Corsica for a basic race at the Class 3 worlds 21st - 26th September.
Does anyone have or know of a 6 car transporter that could be hired or borrowed to take the boats down ?? We have a volunteer HGV driver that will drive it for expenses.

Flights are available for £14 return !!

Anyone got any good deals on Ferries ??

Thanks

Bob

Stanstead to Figari with Ryanair £14 + £10 CC charge I assume you would need an electron card to pay without charges !!
