A Sailing Opportunity not to be Missed – Vacancy on Outreach 5 Day Cruise

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

David Harris is offering the following opportunity for 1 lucky sailor. This really sounds too good to miss so, if you’re interested and reasonably mobile, do contact David at the number below immediately to avoid disappointment.

Dear Disabled Sailor

As a result of a cancellation we are able to offer the last chance to cruise with the Gwennili Trust this season.

Sun 22 to Fri 27 August - a 5 day cruise, with the opportunity weather permitting of crossing the Channel, on the 39ft conventional yacht Outreach II.  While not suitable for a wheelchair user it would be a wonderful experience for someone that is reasonably mobile.  Outreach II will sail from and return to Gosport. For an idea of what to expect read accounts of previous similar cruises on the reports page of our website http://www.gwennili.org.uk/reports.htmThe costs are £15/day (£75) contribution to yacht running expenses payable now and £10/day (£50) for victuals to be paid in cash on boarding.

If you are interested you may apply on line or contact me direct but please do so as soon as possible.

Best wishes

David Harris
