Given the unpredictability of our weather it is difficult to plan a cruise destination even a week in advance so all plans and destinations will be assessed in the light of conditions on the day.
Cruising with Attitude
This year we have introduced a series of three Island Cruising Races on 30th May, 27th June and 22nd August. These are to be white sails events similar to the round the island races at the regatta. Not so much races as "cruises with attitude"
Weekend Day Cruises
From late April to early October there will be a cruising event at least every two weeks. These are family events and everyone is welcome. Usually emails will be sent out in the week before a cruise as people begin to watch the weather forecast. This a good time to respond if you would like to crew. Or you can just turn up on the day. We can nearly always find space for everyone. The following dates have been agreed but remember flexibility is the important thing in yacht cruising. Watch the weather, watch the emails and post to the group if it looks like a good sailing day.
