Why Cruise France?

Details

For many British skippers crossing the Channel to France can be seen as a significant step. Cruising to France and along its coast has much in its favour but also has some important differences from the cruising the UK coast. In this seminar Bob Garrett will discuss why France makes an excellent cruising destination in many different ways, while also setting out the key facts for preparation and how to get the best out of your time there.

From a base in Chichester Harbour, Bob mainly cruised in the English Channel (up to 6 crossings per year) but also to Ireland, the Baltic, the West coast of France, Northern Spain and the Netherlands. He has also chartered as a family and/or crewed friends’ yachts in the Eastern and Western Mediterranean as well as the Caribbean and to Bermuda. Bob is Joint Channel Section Secretary for the Cruising Association so responsible for information and events for members cruising the English Channel.
