Sail In A Flotilla For The Holiday Of A Lifetime
Added: (Fri Jun 29 2007)
A flotilla holiday is a great way to have a fabulous, fun holiday and practice your yachting techniques in gorgeous locations without it costing the earth. Leading low cost sailing holiday providers, All Afloat, are introducing all inclusive packages as part of their wide range of flotilla holiday destinations.
Whether you are an experienced sailor or a curious beginner, sailing in a flotilla is a popular way to enjoy the adrenaline rush of this exciting sport and be part of a group of like minded people when you make port. The flotilla is a group of sailing yachts travelling in convoy which includes a lead �guide� yacht to help you sail in and out of overnight destinations.
However, you, or one of your party will actually be the skipper of your yacht. This is a fantastic way for you all to gain independent practical sailing experience, whilst enjoying the benefits of sailing in a group. Knowing that you have other yachts on hand to help you out if you find yourself in a difficult situation often reduces the risk of anything going wrong.
Your skipper is responsible for the safety of your vessel and should be qualified to �Day Skipper� level. At least one other member of your crew should have some prior crewing experience too. Brushing up on your sailing skills is easy with All Afloat, who can recommend sailing schools in the UK and the Med for those who want to gain recognized sailing qualifications.
Christopher Longmore, director of All Afloat says, �We find that flotilla holidays are popular for two rather different reasons; firstly those who are new to the sport find it a great way to gain experience, and secondly, it�s a great holiday experience for those with teenage children as the teenagers can all hang out together.�
Flotilla holidays can be taken at a range of Mediterranean destinations around Croatia, Turkey and Greece. All Afloat run two flotillas themselves in Fethiye and Sukosan, and can offer low cost all inclusive holidays in a range of destinations including Fethiye, Sukosan, Poros, Skiathos, Split and Marmaris.
