Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Hi there. 2 Options really: fast cruising for a long weekend up to 2 weeks in the Channel (North of France - Brittany - South of England - Belgium) and planning for longer itineraries with like-minded crew. Suggestions welcome. Alternatives in the Med possible.
About the boat, the plans, and current crew
comfortablevery safehave a holidayshare experiencevisit remote placesseek adventure
Usually this boat is sailed in "fast cruising mode" with 4 crewmembers. With a previous vessel, we recently enjoyed the Baleares and south of France. Do you have some basic sailing skills, an open mind, and some good sense of humour? Not much more is needed to join in on one of the trips. More experienced crew member? Please reach out if interested in the longer passages.
