Offshore sailing and cruising 2012

A yacht on a port tack, with white hull, filled number one genoa and red white and blue main sail,
skimming across a blue green seascape.

VI-SA-GB’s 2012 sailing season for members will be thanks to the UK Sailing Academy in Cowes. UKSA have kindly agreed; once more, that VI-SA-GB can charter the sailing academies spare capacity yachts for a variety of dates for the 2012 spring/summer sailing season.

VI-SA-GB's 2012 sailing season shall once again concentrate around the south coast due to the chartering opportunities available at present. Continuous investigation of similar chartering opportunities for the association more nationally will hopefully lead to wider UK coverage
