Anglia Sea Ventures

Milebuilder cruises are a great way to get out on the water and visit specific destinations. They can be used to go sailing for fun or to log miles as a pre-requisite to an RYA course.

We run several cruises each year from Ipswich to destinations including Ramsgate, Oostende and Dunkerque.

The fee includes all meals underway (not including meals when ashore), tuition, marina and harbour fees, wet weather and safety gear.

During your time aboard, you will be living in one of the most spacious and luxurious sea school yachts in the region. You will receive expert tuition from one of our experienced qualified RYA Instructors who is there not only to teach you but to ensure you have a most enjoyable time. Each night we will stay at a different location either in a marina, at anchor or mooring to a buoy. Domestic duties are shared by all on board and at the end of each course we ask you to help clean the yacht ready for the next crew.

Restrictions

The minimum age is 14 years. Students under 18 years must be accompanied by an adult. To operate within the safety parameters of the life saving equipment on board the maximum chest or waist size (which ever is the greater) must be less than 50 inches (127cm). We are sorry but no smoking is allowed on-board.

Number on board

To ensure full participation by all, numbers will be limited to a maximum of 5 students per course (usually 4) who will be undertaking both skippering and crewing courses.

What to wear

Non-marking soft soled shoes (non black) or sailing boots (sorry but Wellington or garden boots are not suitable). Wet weather gear if you have any (we can supply some if you don't). A hat or cap. It can get chilly out on the water so several layers of clothing are best rather than fewer thick layers.

What to bring

Sun block, sun glasses, camera, sleeping bag and pillow case (we provide a pillow), change of clothing, wash gear and bath towel, G15 log book if you have one. Please pack all items in a soft sports type bag that can be easily stowed

Other things you should know

If this sail has to be cancelled due to adverse weather conditions, you will be offered an alternative date. Boating requires a degree of physical exertion so if you have any doubts concerning your fitness please make us aware. Please consult your pharmacist or doctor if you require seasickness medication. This is not an RYA course.
