2024 Cruising Programme

A group email will be sent by the cruising coordinator to all yacht owners in advance to give notice of a cruise. Any owners or skippers with a serious intention to join a cruise then please reply so that preparations can be made.

Your cruising co-ordinator will keep yacht owners informed on the status of each cruising event by group email or a cruise specific group chat using the mobile Telegram App. If owners or skippers have crew vacancies on their boat then please ensure you advertise it on the website. Go to the Notice Board under Crew requests, and/or put a notice on the physical Cruiser notice board in the club hallway. Likewise, crew looking for places should advertise in the same way.

Individuals may wish to tailor any trip to suit their diaries by departing earlier or staying on. If anyone has any other ideas and wishes to organise an additional cruise in company to those listed then please contact the Cruising Coordinator at cruising@wsc.org.uk
