LONGER VOYAGES

Details of the cross channel cruise for 2007 will be posted here in the New Year.

During the summer, some of our more experienced members organise longer voyages and look for crew from among Club members. Our members have regularly sailed across the Channel to the Channel Isles, France and Holland, and also visited the Scillies, Scotland and Ireland. Trips have also been made to the Mediterranean and the Baltic.

Several of our members have been on a two-year round the world voyage and an ever growing number have completed the ARC. One young lady member, who has crossed the Atlantic over a dozen times, was Mate on a yacht that visited Cape Horn and then crossed to the Antarctic as part of a youth-inspired attempt to highlight the growing pollution problems there. And, last, but by no means least, another member took part in the 1998 BT Challenge race around the world as Mate on ‘Time & Tide’.
