“We will always try to find you a suitable day and level of sailing with ECYD. We want you to get the maximum value and enjoyment from your time with us. For that reason we may offer you an alternate day or days. Please let us know, when you book, about your flexibility i.e. plus or minus 1 or 2 days etc. or about any hard and fast travel arrangements you have made. That way we can match you with other crew members and ensure that events go ahead or be swiftly rescheduled”.

With the lack of interest from Charterers for sailing in the Baltic, Freyja will be returning early from the Baltic to Ipswich.
A programme of Taster Sails, Boat Handling, and Sea-time opportunities or Charter is in development.
Members wishing to sail from Ipswich within UK waters or to/from ports in near Europe should contact Brian Barnes (yachtsec@ecyd.org.uk) with proposed dates and venue.
Skippers, Charterers’ and Crew should note the Terms and Conditions that apply when sailing with ECYD
