Future Trips

1.1Alan Howells will skipper a long weekend from Plymouth on Thursday September 3rd - Monday 7th aiming for Tréguier. This will give another opportunity for prospective skippers to plan and navigate a Channel crossing. Alan intends leaving at 21.00 on the Thursday evening, so crew will not need to take holiday that day. Following a cancellation there are two places available. The cost for the four days, including gas charge, will be £185 per person with 6 on board, or £222 for 5.

1.2Alan will also skipper a weekend from Plymouth on October 3 – 4. A number of members have expressed interest in this and we may be using two boats, with Ian Collins taking one of the boats from Plymouth Sailing School which he has been using frequently in the last couple of years.
