Cruising Section

 

Cruising in Company Calendar 2010.

 

All cruising events will be subject to weather conditions following consultation with participants, the final decision being made by the cruise co-ordinator on the day of departure.
Please meet in the clubhouse at 0930 sharp on the day when the weekend cruise starts for the cruise briefing. Any changes to this arrangement will be posted on the LSC website cruising section notice board.

If the first day of any 2 day cruise has to be postponed for weather reasons the participants, will consider an alternative cruise on the second day. Similarly, if a 1- day cruise has to be postponed for weather reasons, the attendees will consider an alternative cruise for the next day (Sunday)

If you are not a boat owner but are keen to take part or simply sample what cruising in company is all about, please add your name, contact details and availability to the "crew" list posted on the cruising section of the club notice board. Subject to available places, every effort will be made to ensure you can take part and enjoy the cruising in company experience!


To join one of the Extended Cruises In Company please put your name and contact details on the list on the notice board in the clubhouse. This will help to confirm likely participants and also enable the pre-cruise meeting and briefing to be organized prior to departure. For a log of the 2008 Western Isle Cruise to Tobermory -see your website - highlights how flexible the extended cruise program can be to suit your and others sailing plans.

*Cruise Coordinator to be appointed for each event. (Updated list on club notice board)
Please notify your cruise co-ordinator in advance of event if you intend joining the cruise.


Keelboat (competitive cruising) to all cruising destinations will be arranged for those boat owners who wish to participate. Please note that this is on a very informal basis and therefore may or may not constitute "racing" for insurance purposes. If you have any concerns about this you are advised to check this out with your insurer.

CRUISING UPDATE - MAY 2010

Last Weekend our cruising in company event was programed for a three day holiday weekend cruise round Bute. Due to the intimated weather west of Bute we did not quite make a passage round Bute however shared a very relaxing weekend which included a night ashore at Colintrive, Kyles of Bute, a cruise up Loch Striven and a barbie on the beach at Port Banatyne on the Sunday night.
The weather was kind , the company superb and a good time was had by all.
If you have not yet experienced cruising in company why do you not join us for the next cruise.

 

 

Pre eveing gathering on "Claymore" awaiting the rest of the group to join us before landing at Colintrive.

 


 

Barbie ashore at Port Banatyne on the Sunday Night.
