If I am honest I am split 50/50 on being excited/terrified by the concept of BC sailing.
That's probably the best way to be and I'm still like that after two years in the BC. It really isn't that bad if you plan where you want to go and work out times, check the weather you shouldn't go to wrong. It's no worse then many other places round the UK. Get some easy sails in first, from Cardiff you can't get any easier then up to Newport on a weekend. With a westerly you fly up with the wind behind you, and on the way back as long as you leave when there's enough water you'll make it back home to Cardiff. The club is friendly and there's a pontoon to dry out on, granted you can't really walk in to the town or do much but you get enjoy a bit of boat time if you're happy enough to cook your own grub and bed down on the boat.
