6 Days Charter Channel Islands Saint-Malo, France

We travel from island to island inside the Anglo-Norman archipelago along the Cotentin coast. Jersey, Guernsey, Herm, Sark, and Alderney are in the itinerary. This tour mixes time at sea with time on land for swimming, short walks, or city visits.

Day 2: We depart from Jersey for the bailiwick of Guernsey, en route to Saint-Peter Port. Stroll through town, take a walk along the seaside pathways, bathe in one of the many saltwater pools, and pay a visit to Victor Hugo's home.

Day 3: Crossing the Little Russell to Herm Island, where we will hike and swim. Then we'll cross the Big Russel to Sark, where we'll spend the night at anchor.

Day 4: Travel north to Alderney, the most northern island. Hike, ornithological site observation, and village tour.

Day 5: Return to Sark to explore the island and perhaps go on lengthy treks or go swimming.

Day 6: Return to Saint-Malo Bay

Our sailboat is a one-of-a-kind Randonneur 12m created by renowned naval architect Mark Lombard. It is a boat intended for voyage without regard for dimension. Everything has been done to achieve a quick boat while adhering to the standards meant for blue sea sailing, i.e. a sailboat with exceptional road stability, the capacity to handle a big load, and great solidity for the security required by this program.

Despite having a reinforced sampling, the boat is lighter than a series construction because to the strip planking process's epoxy wood composite construction approach. It is a sandwich of fiberglass, red cedar wood, and epoxy resin that strikes a balance between lightweight, stiffness, solidity, and insulation.

Despite its trip boat program, it was planned and built with a genuine care for performance, sensations, and safety. Its hull is evocative of those used in ocean racing, and it influenced the construction of the first Class 40s as well as many modern cruising sailboats, notably the RM Yachts series, for which it is the original design.

The designer created a broad hull with a big inner capacity for habitability and a huge surface area at deck level for mobility and idleness. It includes three staterooms, a huge saloon, a large galley (essential for cooking on a boat), and a large chart table excellent for preparation for sailing and briefings before each departure.

It has all of the typical conveniences that may be enjoyed on a contemporary sailboat without succumbing to unnecessary indulgences, such as pressurized hot water, toilets, a sink area in each cabin, a deck shower that allows you to rinse off after swimming or shower outside, and heating.

It features a cutter rig with a 49 m2 Pro Radial square-headed mainsail with 3 reefs, a 43 m2 Pro Radial furling jib, a huge 22 m2 Pro Radial staysail and a tiny 14 m2 Dacron staysail for the breeze, and an asymmetrical spinnaker for downwind sailing. The necessities for effective, pleasant, and safe navigation.

When anchoring at anchor or on buoys, a motorized dinghy allows you to make contacts on shore.

The yacht is equipped with electronic aids, and all the navigation and safety equipment necessary and mandatory for a boat flying the professional commercial flag, among others: Pilot charts, Cartography, Guides and navigation books, Compass, Binoculars, Barometer, GPS , Log, depth sounder, wind vane anemometer, electric pilot, fixed VHF, portable VHF, AIS transceiver, radar reflector, 8-seater offshore liferaft, Grab bag, distress lights, Silzig buoy, Dan buoy (IOR pole), vests rescue inflatables, fire extinguishers, gas detector, shears, pharmacy.
