New Beginning in the UK

[gracia]

Hi everyone,

Nowadays my sea and sailing love fired again I have experience ~5000 nm around Marmara and Aegean Sea for 5 years. We used to live in the boats 3 months in the summers. We have moved to UK in 2016 and till today I am just remembering my those old days

Our last boat was a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 47. I want to re-start sea sailing with a 28-30 feet sailing boat. But I have no experience on tidal seas and marinas in the UK. I live in Manchester and can travel 1-2 hrs away if needed for my sailing love

Can anyone help me where and how can I start. I know its a huge question but any idea or any help can be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Living in Manchester, you would be better posting in the PBO forum as you will be more likely to be advised to restart sailing in North Wales. This thread might be worth reading about finding a location.
If you lived in Leeds where would you keep your boat?

When you find the area you find suitable, then visit clubs and marinas to see exactly where you would like to berth, then try and find a boat locally to purchase. To advise on a boat please give a guide to your requirements, expected age and budget.

For sailing in tidal waters, then read this web page from the Royal Yachting Association. https://www.rya.org.uk/knowledge-advice/cruising-tips/navigation/Pages/top-tips-tides.aspx The RYA web site is a mine of useful information that you can find answers to many of your questions, so have a good read.

Manchester ? Rather reminds me of the Irish answer when asked for directions - " Well sir, I wouldn't start from here."
The Lakes would be within range - no tides.
Otherwise I agree, N. Wales .
