Ahoy. :-D I am seeking new friends who like to sail their own boats or crew small small yachts on the East Coast. I own a small yacht (1986, 29, ' bilge keel) and sail out of the Crouch in Essex. I leave the boat in the water all year (aside from maintenance) and would like to find new crew who are interested in year round day sailing, or longer trips up the coast or across the channel. All skills levels welcome. I'm also interested in meeting others who have their own boats and are looking for crew. Please join up and leave a biog with your sailing experience and tell us why you would be good to have aboard! Please note - this is not a sailing club, nor a charter company. I am not a professionally endorsed or commercial skipper and there is no insurance other than that as my friends aboard as casual crew. There is therefore no charge for the sailing, except for a contribution towards fuel, overnight marina charges and food/drinks.  There is also a charge from MeetUp for hosting this webpage, so I will also collect a sub of £5 per person each time you come sailing to help me pay for the page. 

Please note - sailing on small yachts can be an intimate experience and not everyone will be suited to it.  For the personal health and safety and enjoyment of myself and other members, there may be times when membership is not granted.

 

Now for the rule: sorry to say, but it's really poor form if you rsvp and don't show up.  Spaces are very limited on board so my one group rule is that if you rsvp and don't turn up twice, then you will be removed from the membership. I've had to do this as we've already had it happen once!
