About 450 miles. An excellent training passage in challenging waters. Two or three decent sailors would be very welcome.

Yacht (a comfortable Moody 54) is presently in Eastern Finland, but will be in Cuxhaven by the end of July. I can make the passage during any reasonable weather window in August up to about 21 August, and so the ideal crewmen will also have a certain amount of flexibility so that we can choose the optimum weather window.

Cuxhaven easily reachable from Hamburg airport, served by Sleazyjet and others from Luton and Gatwick.

Have you managed to pull a crew together for this trip yet? I am sailing the Baltic over 10 to 16 Aug finishing in Kiel and fly back to UK on the 16 Aug. Could be an opportunity to cancel the flight back and jump onboard if the dates suit. I will be in the Baltic with my wife who is Comp crew so another hand if needed, i am RYA YMOffshore.
Regards

Hi Steve: I have several people joining for different phases, including the Finland-Kiel part, but there is certainly room for two more if you and your wife are available on 16 August and we haven't left Cuxhaven by then. If you send me your email by PM, we can correspond that way. Cheers.
