Does anyone know if there is a group that crosses the channel especially for older/slower boats, like mine ! ( 6 to 7 knots max!) . Or is there someone else in a simmilar situation to the following.
We want to go next season (2004) to spend the summer on the canals and our boat is a lightly built 37ft double ender , 1939( rebuilt last two years), although she sails ( a bit) it is more of a 'get you home rig', disguised as Gaff !
I would prefer to go in company because we only have one engine and I don't want to be in the shipping lanes trying to get out of the way of some Ferry using only our sailing rig also I don't have radar (if it gets foggy) .
It just seems like common sense, if we have the opportunity, to go with someone else or a group of boats.
