Bristol Channel Meet - Boats

[LeytonC]

So who is interested in comming? I am ( /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif)

Could people also give an idea of number(s) of people on board, size of boat and where they are comming from (any other information you can think of as well would be usefull)

 

[Gludy]

Yes I am interested.

 

[muckypup]

If all goes well in the next couple of weeks, then yes me too.

[Elza_Skip]

Im a possible for this. I have been thinking about exploring further down the Channel. We are now based in Cardiff.

May would be good, perhaps for a long week-end

 

[tico]

I'm interested too....could do with a week of settled weather on neaps for the return trip (Gludy will know what I mean)

Theres a fair few forumites in the Swansea / Cardiff area but not many further West.

If it is over a week we may need several locations.
It may be useful to arrange cruise in company for anyone less used to longer journeys.
Would it now be a good idea to limit this to one thread as people are going to miss parts of the discussion over several.

 

[LeytonC]

Or start another thread about crusing in company... Problem is speed of boats, i cruse at about 8 knots, so might need several threads with people travelling at different speeds.

If people want extra thread start them. i am not in charge.

 

[PCUK]

So we need two threads, planing and displacement. I normally cruise at ten when in a hurry (well relative hurry anyway) but am happy at eight when the wallet is thin!

Definately. By may/june I will hopefully be experienced enough for short journeys/marinas/handling etc, but not for a longer journey.

I'm interested if a paddy is welcome to pop across the pond. Probably overnight in Kilmore and pop over to Milford Haven. June would be best for us.

 

[gonfishing]

I'm interested, but it will depend on whether I have a boat or not!!!

 

[Gludy]

I really think one thread is needed for all this.

There are many reasons why a boat maychoose to travel slower. I for one can do 25 knots but would not mind doing 10 knots to accompany other boats, in partcular less experienced skippers.

 

[steverow]

Yes we're intertested in coming on Pegasus.

Steve.

 

[Jobs_a_ good_ un]

Im up for it, may would be good for me as planing to go to the west country end of may/june the on to med in july
Im happy to go any speed how about a lundy/swansea/milford haven trip
May see some wildlife out that way very close to skomer for day trips

 

[steverow]

Chris (Spanish Trader), me (Pegasus) and I'm sure Steve (muckypup) will all be around the Ten knot mark or a bit less.
So the Dis/semi's will probably outnumber the planing boats.
Also any sailboats that join in will need to be accounted for at probaly only five or six knots.

 

[Tucepi]

I'm interested and based in Cardiff. Boat is Sealine F36 with 3 on board and 2 dogs. Cruise as slow as the slowest boat and happy at that. 30knts max.

 

[steverow]

I think 8 knots is fine.
There will be a load of us only doing 8 to 10 knots.
We just go at the speed of the slowest boat.

Steve.

8-10knots I'm sure will be fine for me. BTW, the boat is called "Harlequin Princess", although muckypup would be a good name /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif She will me mine on the 7th December.

[Gludy]
