Solent yacht charter goes west!
Solent based charter yacht Adelaide Star found herself in Plymouth at the end of the Fastnet Race on Saturday. With the prospect of a 24 hr sail back to her home port of Gosport bypassing the lovely Devon coast a quick change of plan was required. With the RYA sailing school in the safe hands of chief instructor Tom, RYA principle Stuart Cooper decided to embark upon a South Coast cruise taking a slow route home aboard the charter yacht. With a quick transfer of the office from Gosport Marina to the RYA sailing school yacht Karen was pleased to be Competent Crew for the week. After end of the Fastnet Race celebrations with the crew in Plymouth, sunny Salcombe was the next port of call with many Rolex Fastnet battle banners flying in the busy harbour. Adelaide Star was not the only charter yacht making the most of the opportunity to enjoy a cruise back to base. Next stop is bustling Dartmouth and with Adelaide Star berthed at the town quay, after a run ashore to replenish supplies the crew announced that they would happily be storm bound in this lovely Devon town!
