WHAT TO EXPECT?

On Good Friday, you will sail from BlueOne's home port Colijnsplaat (NL) through the Oosterschelde out to the North Sea, destination Vlissingen (NL) where you will stay overnight in the new marina (30NM). You will spend the Saturday on passage from Vlissingen to the Belgian coastal city of Ostend (30NM). On Sunday, you will sail along the coast to Breskens (28NM) (or Terneuzen: 41NM). On Monday, you will head back to Colijnsplaat through the Westerschelde and Zuid-Beveland Canal (40 or 27NM).
Please note that the skipper may decide to change the itinerary due to unfavourable weather conditions or other unforseen circumstances. 

Colijnsplaat marina is about a 90-120 min drive from Brussels. On arrival, the skipper will brief the crew about the sailing itinerary, which will depend on weather conditions and the crew's experience. The cruise ends on Monday evening.

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?
The Participation Fee (PAF) for a cruise aboard BlueOne is €70 per sailor per day on weekends/holidays (€60 on weekdays). For cruises lasting 4 days or longer, the PAF is €60 per day.
The PAF does not include the kitty (food & beverage consumed on board, the "motoring" (€10 per engine hour running) and possible marina fees). As most of us live in Brussels, we often carpool to Zeeland and back.

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING WITH ME?

Please bring warm clothes (e.g. fleeces) and waterproofs. In the winter, the conditions can be harsh (windy and cold) so make sure you are well equipped (full sailing gear: waterproofs, sailing boots, sailing gloves and layers to keep you warm). In spring and summer, it may be warm enough for short sleeves, so be prepared for that, too. In sunny weather do not forget to pack suncream.

BlueOne's usual wind and temperature limits apply, so be prepared for a last minute cancellation. ​Accommodation is on the yacht; please bring your own bedding, a sleeping bag is ideal (pillows are provided). You also need to bring your own toiletries and towels.

WHAT DO I DO NEXT? (PAYMENT)
Register as soon as possible as these events tend to fill up quickly.
CNCE works on a "first paid - first served" basis, so be sure to sign up without delay to secure your participation!

WHAT HAPPENS ONCE I'VE SIGNED UP?
Once you have registered in Twizzit and paid online, you will receive a confirmation email. Before the trip, the skipper will get in touch with you with more details (e.g. carpooling, food shopping). The skipper may already indicate a possible itinerary, even if this may change because weather forecasts are only reliable two or three days in advance.

Please note that sailing activities may be cancelled ​at short notice due to weather conditions!
