Come along for a few days exploring creeks and anchorages around the Solent with Saturday evening moored up for a meal and some drinks ashore. This trip is suitable for any level of sailing experience. This is a non-commercial trip run on a shared-cost basis.** **The Plan** We will aim to meet on Friday evening 9 October in Port Hamble marina and have a meal out in Hamble to get to know each other On Saturday morning we'll leave in good time to have lunch at one of the many anchorages around the Solent and then probably head west to either Yarmouth or Lymington for the night. On Sunday we'll head back towards Hamble with a lunch stop on the way, aiming to be tied up in the marina and off the boat by 15:00hrs. Accommodation will be aboard the yacht in shared double cabins. Yacht We’ve chartered an Oceanis 37 sailing yacht that’s licensed to carry 8 people, but we’ll be a maximum of 6 to ensure everyone has a proper chance to be involved in the sailing. You’ll be pleased to know the boat has central heating, hot/cold running water, a bathroom, a kitchen with a fridge, and more than enough electricity to charge your phone! There are UK 3 pin and continental 2 pin sockets on board so bring a continental adapter if you have one. **Skipper - Al Besly** I am a Day Skipper and hold a Powerboat 2 and VHF licenses. I have RYA theory up to YM Ocean. Most of my experience comes from ocean racing but I have also raced Sunsail F40s as skipper both in the Solent and the Canaries. I have skippered most of Fairview's fleet of 37s at some point.
