Shorthanded Cruising

Cruise to Oxford 5/13/23
Author Last Post

Current update, Friday before Oxford Race/Cruise, 10am.


I am not going to be able to make the trip because of hospice-related family matter. But the good news is that Tom Kiely is likely to do it anyway. Tom has a Bristol Channel Cutter so his boat should be easy to spot.


I'm really sorry to miss this trip and look forward to hearing the sea stories.

If you would like to join the Cruise to Oxford, please register using the event calendar. You're welcome to email or call me if you have any questions that you don't want to post.


I used to sail the Spring Oxford Race every year but AYC is no longer allowing singlehanded competitors. The party is a lot of fun though and you're bound to see sailing aquaintances in addition to our CHESSS racers if you make the trip.


Anchoring near the club is tricky in a N or NW wind but we can talk about that. At nightfall I usually up anchor and motor across the Tred Avon to Plain Dealing Creek for a quiet night. I hope we get a few boats to make the trip!
