The RYA still has limited availability for its cruise-in-company, from Gosport via Cherbourg to Guernsey, between 12-18 June 2011.

While all ages and abilities are welcome to sign up, the cruise is ideal for first-time Channel crossers, as not only do the RYA arrange everything from berthing to social activities, but an RYA Yachtmaster Instructor is present en route to give guidance.

Boats taking part are usually 9-12m LOA and each must have at least one RYA member aboard.
