Surely it doesn't take you ten hours to get from Poole to the Needles, even with those triangular sails of yours?

Gonna sew the two at the front together or move the middle one to the back, much more used to that

I could probably do it in 6-7 hours but solo on a 20 footer that is very tiring. That's assuming I still own a boat by the time this cruise goes ahead even worse, there don't appear to be any nice ones for sale to replace Live Magic in timeSimon,
yes but that's an Evolution 25, a pretty fast 25 !
I've done Chi - Lymington or Yarmouth quite a few times in the Anderson 22, and for that matter Poole quay to Chichester, in single hops but I'd be first to admit the conditions have to be fairly favourable unless I have a keen crew to give me a reason.
For those with Leisure 17' and Vivacity 20' twin keelers, it would be pretty good going to make Yarmouth in one hit, and I for one am trying to leave ' sailing as an endurance test ' ( far ) behind in my teeneage years, fortunately we have the time available.
I agree it's entirely feasible in one hit in the right conditions for almost any boat if they feel they have to.
Same goes for returning on the Sunday, it's not ideal but some people just haven't got the time, I know someone who really wanted to come but can't make even the Thursday - Sunday, sadly.

lustyd,
well I might be looking for a crew...
More for company than hard toil before the mast !

Another participant who's just joined the fleet is gallan947, with his Hunter Horizon 23 coming from Portsmouth on the Friday, returning on Monday.
Well it looks like I still have a boat so I've just PM'd Phill to confirm my details havn't changed. Must say I'm glad I won't be spending the summer on land!
Cheers
