sailing dayboat charter

[wclemens]

Hi, I wasn't sure where else to post this . . . I'm looking to charter a small, simple sailing dayboat in the UK May 14-15. I'm an experienced sailor, and just want to do some inland or light coastal sailing. Can't seem to find much outside of the broads (which I did last year and want a change). Any leads or ideas would be great. Thanks.

You can borrow Drascombes in Argyll from these people: http://www.linnhemarina.co.uk/

And I can recommend the Holly Tree Hotel http://www.hollytreehotel.co.uk/, just up the way as the place you would want to stay ( I have to declare that it does belong to a pal of mine, but much enthusiasm and repeat bookings from people I have sent there in the past.)

There is an outfit that rents out Cornish Shrimpers and other small classic style boats on the Fal estuary. Memory fails me on the name, will look around.Certainly a great area to explore.

It is a crying shame that it is very hard now to charter anything shorter than 35ft. Previous years when I was boatless I looked long and hard for inexpensive charter on a boat my kids could have fun on and handle without being intimidated by the size and shinyness. Several years we hired a 27ft Hunter from a good and friendly sea school outfit in Milford Haven. Miles of sheltered cruising up that way. Google will turn them up.

Or you could rent a character boat on Ullswater. Very pleasant place to sail from, but I think I would baulk at £110 for a full day hire.

A small outfit in Salcombe used to hire out hefty daysailers. Might be worth a Google
