Sailing to the isles of Scilly from Lorient

An 8-day semi-offshore sailing program heading from Lorient (South Brittany) to a little corner of paradise, the Scilly archipelago!

Located in the west, south-west of the Cornish peninsula, these islands in the Celtic Sea are only 25 nautical miles from England.

Aboard one of our crewed 21m monohulls, you'll be an active crew member. Coastal sailing will take you through the Raz de Sein, then the Chenal du Four... And you won't be left out in the more frequented areas (DST). Night sailing on watch during the Channel crossing and the return to Lorient.

This mid-shore sailing course takes place aboard one of our 21m monohulls with crew. It is designed for sailors of all levels who want to improve their sailing skills on a crewed yacht.

Plan

Supervised by two professional sailors, the emphasis is on anticipation, decision-making and watch responsibility. You'll also learn about night sailing, watch-keeping, safety, manoeuvres, on-board management and equipment.

Sailing program will take you from South Brittany to England, crossing the Channel, as well as anchoring and visiting in the isles of Scilly. Sailing back to Lorient will be done at once.

Everything that goes to make up life on board a crewed sailing yacht!

Boat details

It is a large 21m monohull with professional crew. This Challenge 67 was designed and built for the BT Global Challenge, the crewed round the world race against the prevailing winds.
This one-design racing cruiser was built in 14 examples in the years 91/92. The majority of them are still sailing today all over the world.
The open sea is the DNA of this large monohull. Extremely seaworthy, this 67-foot monohull is designed for the open sea. Its large size is an asset for traveling, coastal sailing, training and anticipating all situations at sea. Skippered by two professional sailors, it accommodates 10 crew members/customers spread across four cabins (double and triple), with single bunk berths.
Behind the large saloon and the galley, two crew cabins complete the interior layout of the boat.
The Challenge 67 are rigged as a cutter. Their wardrobe is all the more interesting and varied! At the front, you will carry the canvas of the time: staysail, Yankee 1, Yankee 2 or Yankee 3. The largest headsails are the large genoa, the asymmetrical spinnaker and the symmetrical spinnaker. The mainsail is fully battened.
