Scuttlebutt\'s infamous annual x-channel cruise

Right, anyone upfrit?

Basic plot, go to France in the autumn. Probably Cherbourg, maybe St Vaast, for a Saturday night dinner and associated jollity.

Looking at my rusty tidetables, neapy weekends are 25th Sept, 6th Oct, 20th Oct.

Please let me know either in this thread or by pm if your interested going a) as a skipper (and if so whether wou might have spare bunks and how many), b) as crew or c) as a passenger (Hi Jimi). Oh, and any date preference - early days yet, I know, but maybe worth getting something in the diary.

And if one of you bi-guys out there wouldn't mind passing the invite onto our motorboating brothers and sisters....


Toodle pip.

Re: Scuttlebutt\'s infamous annual x-channel cruise

I would be interested in joining as crew. My yacht is probably not big enough and definitely too far away. Ooops just noticed Moose post!
Erm! do I need to bring foreign phrase book?

Re: Scuttlebutt\'s infamous annual x-channel cruise

If we're up for it do we to state the condition of various parts of the yacht, eg rudder,keel etc, so potential crew can feel confident in its abilities to arrive at the destination?

I'm up for it, either of the last 2 weekends preferably.
Room for 2 couples or 4 prepared to share in 2 cabins.
Based Haslar.

And all in perfect working order.

Re: Scuttlebutt\'s infamous annual x-channel cruise

Great stuff !! Any weekend is OK for us at present, although things can obviously change. However, would prefer earlier (hopefully warmer!) weekends. Haven't spoken to SWMBO, but suspect she would like to come too.

Can offer one double or two single berths - would prefer at least one experienced crew if possible. PM me if you wish.

PS - IMO, all boats should be welcome as long as they don't exceed 8knots average SOG!

Yes, it's got a nasty kick to it, that 2003 Algerian red you were drinking.

Sounds like a giggle.

Do you sail across as a fleet or arrive as and when?
