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 and those that enjoy a relaxing sailing week!
Hello! I am Luke and I will be your skipper for the week!
Sailing is a big passion of mine, and I love being able to share in that passion with others at CUYC.
I’m a skipper for the club (RYA Yachtmaster certified), with experience including cruising, inshore and offshore racing, and everything from weekend trips around the English coast to longer trips to France, the Netherlands, Norway, and more.
I skippered last year's summer programme and very excited to skipper again this year!
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.
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!
