The membership list is distributed at the beginning of the sailing season and includes brief details about each member - boat owner or crew, sailing experience etc. Anything - from a gentle weekend sail in the Solent or a weeks cruise to the Channel Islands to extended cruising. Members have sailed their boats to St Petersburgh, Turkey and transatlantic. Charters Charters give the opportunity to sail interesting boats or to visit unfamilar waters Club charters have included long weekends to France, sailing around the Hebrides and S Ireland, Turkey and Caribbean. Together with the French club we have chartered in Corsica and joined them on a Russian Tall Ship to Amsterdam.
Members also arrange their own charters and often invite club members along.
Training The S and CA has a number of qualified RYA instructors within its membership. If there is sufficient interest we can arrange with sailing schools for exclusive use of a school boat with one of our instructors for RYA courses leading to competent crew, day skipper, coastal skipper and yachtmaster offshore. Cowes IoW Cowes, on the Isle of Wight, is a yachting legend. The S and CA boats often meet on the moorings at the popular Folly Inn, up river.
