All cruises, races and events are skippered by a qualified club skipper and the emphasis is on making the sailing fun.

Places are available for members & their immediate family.  (Friends and extended family can be accommodated if space permits subject to a small additional fee)

Previous sailing experience is not required, although on some events we may stipulate a qualified 1st mate.

If you’ve never sailed before, are new to the club, or looking to build sailing experience,  we recommend getting in  some day sails! They are a fantastic way to build mileage and get to know others in a fun day out.

Race events:

Skippered by club Yacht Masters they vary in intensity, but are all carefully chosen to provide great fun and opportunity. These require a full crew and most will likely involve 2 suitable people sharing the forepeak

Example of a 4 day mini cruise:
4 days sailing along the south coast of England/Channel Islands/trip to France. (Don’t forget your passport!)

Destinations depend on wind and tide and may involve some night sailing, marina’s are normally visited but there could be a night at anchor also.

A mixture of passage making and relaxed sailing will suit a broad cross section of sailors and also provide great experience for those who want to get out of the Solent and gain further experience.

Some previous experience may be useful but is not essential.

Unless otherwise stated the price includes the cost of the yacht, damage waiver, and fuel. Food, moorings and travel will be at the crew expense.
