Cross Channel Bank Holiday Sailing

May this fantastic weather continue! This trip [subject to the weather as always] is about a night sail across the channel to either Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue or Alderney. This weekend is about giving those with their comp crew or day skipper licences a little morel latitude to test their skills, Newbies are welcome to join with the day skippers for some confidence building.

Wolverine is a fast modern cruiser racer and is a pleasure to sail well when fully tuned in. We'll forget about point to point sailing and focus more on sailing with the wind across our sails and how to set them and get the best out of our weekend together.

The Bank holiday weekend will consist of a night sail leaving port before 8pm on Friday 28th August and then cruise back to the Solent on Sunday 30th perhaps staying at Lymington, Cowes or Yarmouth.

Meetup Friday @ 19:00hrs
