Could people also give an idea of number(s) of people on board, size of boat and where they are comming from (any other information you can think of as well would be usefull)

[Gludy]

Yes I am interested.

Im a possible for this. I have been thinking about exploring further down the Channel. We are now based in Cardiff.

May would be good, perhaps for a long week-end

I'm interested too....could do with a week of settled weather on neaps for the return trip (Gludy will know what I mean)

Theres a fair few forumites in the Swansea / Cardiff area but not many further West.

If it is over a week we may need several locations.
It may be useful to arrange cruise in company for anyone less used to longer journeys.
Would it now be a good idea to limit this to one thread as people are going to miss parts of the discussion over several.

[LeytonC]

Or start another thread about crusing in company... Problem is speed of boats, i cruse at about 8 knots, so might need several threads with people travelling at different speeds.

If people want extra thread start them. i am not in charge.

[PCUK]

So we need two threads, planing and displacement. I normally cruise at ten when in a hurry (well relative hurry anyway) but am happy at eight when the wallet is thin!

Definately. By may/june I will hopefully be experienced enough for short journeys/marinas/handling etc, but not for a longer journey.

I'm interested if a paddy is welcome to pop across the pond. Probably overnight in Kilmore and pop over to Milford Haven. June would be best for us.
