Saunterers

Organiser: Mark Lanigan

Sail or power. Would like to sail with a convivial group of people one Saturday a month?

Come for a sail with the Saturday Saunterers. After a great mornings sailing, we’ll be heading for a pleasant pub or decent restaurant. If you’re a skipper who can’t get away mid-week, sail or power, we’d love you to join us. If you’d like to crew on a yacht but can’t find the time during the week, this could be the opportunity you’ve been looking for.

We meet in the Solent Room at 9.00am on a Saturday (please see calendar) and match up skippers and crew.

Inexperienced crew are encouraged to take the RYA Competent Crew course before attending, although some skippers are prepared to take novices, in suitable weather conditions. Participating crew should bring their own provisions and suitable clothing for the day including life jackets.

Day-sailing on a semi-impromptu basis has proved to be an excellent way for people to get to know one another. Crew are able to find places on various yachts at an informal meeting before sailing, which offers a chance for new members to become involved, make friends, and go out on the water. Also, for skippers to find compatible people for crewing longer excursions.
