Five Days Sailing

On the Saturday evening, after 1700hrs. you will join CORNISH LEGEND at Camaret. She is a new 34' steel yacht, fast but very stable and has a large inboard engine. Richard (who is a RYA Yachtmaster Instructor) will welcome you and show you round. We will offer you an evening meal with wine onboard.

Next day after a brief safety talk we will set sail for a short trip either around the coast, one of the islands, or in the Rade de Brest. The five day program is always flexible and depends on where you would like to go and the weather forecast for the week. We are very fortunate with the marvellous Rade de Brest next door to Camaret, if necessary we can spend a delightful week cruising this huge inland waterway visiting the numerous little attractive villages and peaceful anchorages as well as having a full day in the City of Brest with its world famous aquarium - OCEANOPOLIS. Normally, in the evening, our guests eat ashore in one of the many small French restaurants. You can be involved in as much or as little sailing, navigation etc. as you like. There are four berths on CORNISH LEGEND - two in the forward cabin and two in the saloon. Check out CORNISH LEGEND Layout page for more information and photographs. You are welcome to do a RYA Practical Course at no extra charge. Note: All cruises are subject to weather conditions at the time, and other unforeseen events, which may make it necessary to alter the program, as required.
