Weymouth Sail and Seafood Weekend

A fantastic oportunity to gain night hours and sea miles as we head west towards Weymouth, perhaps stopping at Poole or Lulworth Cove en route to Portland, site for the 2012 Olympic sailing events.

We plan to leave early on Friday morning passing the Needles as we head west for an overnight stop in Poole. Another early start on Saturday with breakfast en route, we plan to arrive late afternoon in Weymouth with time to swim or walk on historic Chesil Beach.

In the evening we walk beyond the Portland and Weymouth Sailing Academy to The Crab House Cafe on the edge of the Fleet Lagoon to sample their spectacular seafood.

Sunday morning provides time for a good stroll into the picturesque Harbour in Weymouth where we can sit and enjoy a leisurely coffee and watch the fishermen.

On late Sunday afternoon we begin our sail east overnight aiming to pass the Needles once more early on Monday morning, heading up the Solent and back into Gosport early afteroon.

What is included?
The cost of the weekend includes accommodation on board your yacht, breakfasts, lunches and our now famous homemade cake.

Our yachts are vegetarian. Breakfasts and lunches will be warm, tasty and filling but will not contain meat!

The only additional costs are a proportion of mooring fees which are split between those aboard (these vary between nil- £5 per night depending on where we stay) and any fares for taxis used.

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 before departure.

Upon booking you will receive your Joining Instructions which provide a suggested list of what to bring. Sailing waterproofs are an important item, whatever the time of year, as they keep you warm and dry. We have these for you to borrow, free of charge.

You are likely to have most other items on the list and we encourage clients to travel light because of the limited storage room on board.

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 train to Portsmouth Harbour (from Waterloo).

We look forward to sailing with you!
