Summer 25 - 08 Turku - Cruising in the Baltic

 

About the Trip

Hi all! Join us for a chilled one-week trip departing from and returning to Turku, Finland. We'll have the opportunity to go island-hopping around the local archipeligo, moor up in secluded coves, and soak up Finland in the summer.

 

No major offshore passages are planned - just scenic coastal cruising and stopping wherever looks inviting. Very appropriate for complete beginners to sailing.

Your Skipper and First Mate: The Double Joe Trip

My name is Joe (Dolphin) and I am the skipper for this summer programme trip. I sailed with the CUYC 2022 summer programme (Balearics), was a first mate in 2023 (Norway) and then was a skipper last summer(Galicia). I am also a member of the university yacht racing team. I'm a final year PhD at Sidney Sussex (so please come along and help me to procrastinate writing my thesis).

Hi! I’m Joe, a first-year PhD student in civil engineering at Corpus Christi. With a background in dinghy sailing, I served as First Mate for a CUYC week in Galicia last summer and I'm excited for my first trip to the Baltic. I am also a keen yogi so feel free to join me in my morning yoga routines whilst aboard Skylark!

 

How much does it cost?

Apart from the trip cost you pay when you sign up, there will also be expenses for food, marinas and diesal during the week. These will be sorted out on the trip via the Splitwise app, and usually come around to £100. You must also pay for your own transport to and from the handover marina.

 

What to Bring

See the "What to Bring" tab for the full list, but bring warm clothing, seasickness remedies if needed, sleeping bag, personal items, passport, and a spirit of adventure!
