Flotilla
sailing
A flotilla consists of a group (around five
and maximum twelve boats) of yachts -usually
from 27 to 36 feet-, which all follow the
same itinerary. During the day you sail
independently but you can always refer back
to the lead boat. All yachts depart from the
same harbour or bay and meet again all
together in the evening.
Every morning a briefing takes place in
which, the cruising plan of the day is
discussed, a weather report is given (when
necessary) and where you get useful tips
about that day’s cruising. Once on
your way you can contact the lead boat by
VHF, an easy-to-handle sender/receiver radio
transmitter.
The flotilla leader also gives technical
help if necessary. Even experienced sailors
often choose to go with a flotilla because
of the social advantage of sailing in a
group. The assistance provided and the
large number of people in a flotilla group,
has made this type of sailing holiday
popular for families.
Flotilla yachting combines the safety of
sailing in a group with the freedom of your
own boat. The flotilla leader is more
of a nautical companion and source of
information than an entertainer. |
