Channel Milebuilder

If you are an experienced sailor who has sailed previously in offshore waters then this 2 day channel crossing is an opportunity for mileage building and qualifying passages under the guidance of one of our RYA instructors.

For those with qualifications ( you need to be qualified from RYA Competent Crew to RYA Yachtmaster level and beyond), this early season Channel crossing offers adventurous sailing for those wanting more experience.

Be as involved as you like – you can gain skippering experience and take on the planning and navigation.

Join us on Friday late afternoon for safety and passage planning, when we will make a final decision on the planned itinerary (depending on the forecast).

We depart overnight on Friday on our 60 plus mile passage passage heading for Cherbourg and aiming to arrive on Saturday afternoon.

After a meal ashore the sail back across the Channel begins, aiming to arrive back in Gosport by mid afternoon on Sunday

There will be a watch system throughout the passage. For your safety (and the safety of others) you need to arrive fresh and ready for plenty of night hours and sailing. Arriving tired on Friday evening will not help you or your crew mates!

The final destination for this trip is weather dependent. If the wind is unsuitable, we may head to alternative destinations. We will keep you fully informed and give you details a week before departure. Don't forget to bring your passport!

What is included?

The cost of your 2 day Channel Hop includes:

Your accommodation on board your yacht throughout
Your breakfasts, homemade cooked lunches and our now famous cake!
All diets catered for!
Free use of sailing waterproofs (if needed) to keep you warm and dry
Use of safety gear (life jacket and safety harness) free of charge
Free parking at our marina

We eat ashore upon arrival in Cherbourg so that everyone can stretch their legs (this cost is not included).

The only additional cost is a proportion of mooring fees which are split between those aboard. These vary between nil- £5 per night depending on where we stay.

Upon booking you will receive your Joining Instructions which provide a suggested list of what to bring.

Your Joining Instructions will also detail where to find us. We sail from Royal Clarence Marina in Gosport which is easily accessed by road (it is 20 minutes from the M27 at Fareham) or by direct train from waterloo to Portsmouth Harbour.

We look forward to sailing with you!
