2011 – Participation conditions

You charter a yacht according to your ideas. Tell us the number of people in your crew and your preferred type of yacht and whether you will sail only the Charter Week with us or if you would like to sail one or more weeks longer. With this information we will work out a price quotation for you.

If you want to take part as a single or with two or three fellow sailors without skipper responsibility, the cost of participation is Euro 545.00 per person plus board cash and the cost of the journey. The price for a single cabin is Euro 990.00.

The individual cruise clients will be grouped together to make-up a crew organised by SO LONG Yachting. For the board catering, harbour fees, diesel and other items, there will be a board cash. The costs are about 20 Euro per person/day. The skipper does not have to pay into the board cash and is catered for.

For the right evaluation of the tidal situation we must work with the tide and current tables of these areas. It is also important to note that for the calculation, that there are three different times zones: UTC, British summer time – UTC plus 1 hour and the French summer time UTC plus 2 hours.
In a detailed briefing for all participants at the beginning of the Charter Week we will give you important information on how to work with these tables.

We also organise daily skipper briefings during the week, where we work out the daily tide and cruise planning. We inform you about the weather conditions, the mooring situation in the harbours and all other information and measures that are necessary for safe sailing in this extrem tidal area.

The drop down dry with the yachts, which have an integral centre board needs special preparations. Especially there must be the right tide and the right anchorage. This information is also pointed out in the briefings.

Use the Charter Week to become acquainted with this great Atlantic area. Experience tidal navigation in practice just like how you have learnt it during the sailing licence exam in theory.

Sail with us in the security of an organised Charter Week. You will surely come back in order to explore this area on your own initiative.
