Typical Long W/E Sailing Adventure
Sailing across the English Channel on a long weekend Adventure Cruises to France and the Channel Islands, you will visit some great locations and have an experience that you won’t forget. With a choice of three or four days on board, this adventure is suitable for anyone, whether you are ‘learning the ropes’ or looking to build on existing sailing experience. Everyone will have the opportunity to develop their skills and to participate in the running of the yacht.
Locations visited will vary, depending upon weather, tide and crew preferences but typically these weekends visit locations such as Fecamp, St Vaast or Cherbourg in France and Alderney or Guernsey in the Channel Islands.
Typical programme for a 3 day weekend:| Friday | 17:00 Meet your skipper onboard at Haslar Marina. After a safety briefing and introduction to the boat and a meal together, head out for an overnight channel crossing (everyone gets a chance to stand watch for part of the night). |
| Saturday | Arrive late morning in Braye harbour on Alderney. Spend the afternoon having a bit of rest and relaxation, including exploring this unique and unspoilt island. |
| Sunday | Head off in the morning for a short sail across to Cherbourg. Spend the afternoon in Cherbourg, maybe enjoying a meal ashore, before departing for an overnight sail back to the Solent. |
| Monday | Arrive in Chichester harbour or another anchorage for a lunch stop before returning to Haslar marina late afternoon, ready to depart for home around 17:00. |
All food onboard - meals, snacks, hot beverages and soft drinks - will be provided.
