Mile Builder Bank Holiday Weekend

Mile Builder weekends are a great opportunity for all levels to gain miles and increase their racing skills. We start with a safety brief and try and get on the water as quickly as possible and get the boat tacking at speed with the team trimming and moving their weight effectively as soon as possible. You’ll move from position to position on the boat and also have a chance to take the helm.

Day 2 will start with Spinnaker land drills (wind dependent) and then we head out onto the water to put the theory into practice.

Plan

• Friday
Arrival a the marina in the evening. After meeting your fellow crew mates, dinner will be at a local restaurant and is not covered by us.
You will be able to stay on board overnight or if you wish for some more comfort you can stay in a local hotel.

• Saturday
9:30am start with a safety brief. during the day you will cover tacking and gybing.

• Sunday
Another 9:30am start with spinnaker work followed by a sail over to Yarmouth. Dinner at a local pub before staying the night at Yarmouth Harbour

• Monday
On the last day, have a nice easy start to the day before sailing back to Hamble. Departure will be around 2:00pm.

European Mile Builder Leg 6: Malta to Gibraltar

Agustin

Exceptional, complete, hard and demanding. A challenge that requires the capacity for suffering, the navigation is continuous without respites or stops, guard changes every 4 hours, warm bed. IT IS AN EXPERIENCE TO REPEAT after recovery
