Three Men in Another Boat

A milebuilding trip from London to Gosport has been planned for June after the success of a similar sailing trip which takes place each January when we take a one of our RYA sailing school yachts up to London for the London Boat Show. After a running a winter mile builder for the last 6 years we have decided to add a summer cruise to the Commodore Yachting programme to include two five day legs and a weekend Thames cruise. This cruise is sutable for anyone wishing to gain the RYA Competent Crew qualification or to build miles before taking the Yachtmaster Preparation course. The trip is emulated on television tonight with the second episode of Three Men in Another Boat on Dave at 8PM. The programme features Griff Rhyss Jones and his crew of Dara O’Briain and Rory McGrath as they undertake a sailing trip from Tower Bridge to Cowes on the Isle of Wight on his classic sailing yacht Undina.

Further details of this and other milebuilding cruises can be found on our Milebuilding page.

Milebuilding Trip

Milebuilding trips are an essential part of the RYA training programme even they are not actually run as RYA sailing courses. They offer the chance to get out on the water, experience offshore sailing and put into practice both navigation and practical sailing skills. Our mile building cruises take place on one of our modern Bavaria yachts with an experienced RYA instructor on board and all start from our base on the edge of the Solent at Gosport Marina. You will have the chance to undertake a 60 mile skippered passage, build up experience or just relax and enjoy sailing to new places. This years programme includes and Cross Channel trip in March, a cruise to the Channel Islands and around the coast of Brittany in April and May and a trip up to London In June. We are also repeating our highly successful South Coast Cruise over the late May Bank holiday with the chance to visit the beautiful Isles of Scilly.
