Getting from A to B in tidal conditions, with marinas that become accessible only between certain hours, doing ferry-glides with the help of currents, having a totally different compass heading from where you want to go, adding in the current, night navigation in buoyed areas? Come and experiment!
We are leaving the marina on 09 March for a night passage de-rigging to refresh COLREG and the basis of tidal navigation. Each day we will choose to spend in a different marina, visiting areas such as Southampton, The Hamptons, Portsmouth, Hamble River. We return to the marina on the 14th and on the morning of the 15th we will release the school boats.
