Ireland to Isle of Wight

I’m looking for one (or two) crew to join me, sailing from Ireland to the Scillies and along the South Coast to the Isle of Wight. Caretta is usually berthed near Milford Haven, I’m doing the single handed Jester Challenge from Pwllheli to Baltimore in mid June but would like company / crew thereafter.

The plan is to leave Baltimore at the end of June, head over to the Scillies (160nm/ 2 days), then to coastal hop to IOW (200nm+ / 5 to 10 days) depending on wind and weather, and tides and crew, and shore attractions!

Caretta is a Vancouver 27, a solid, long keeled boat, originally designed and built for trans ocean sailing. She is equipped with Raymarine nav gear, including radar and AIS (2018). She has a cutter rig with furlers on both head sails, and is newly fitted with single line reefing going back to the cockpit. Three saloon berths. Usual safety gear (in date!).

‘Legs’ or entire trip to suit crew.
