New members and new to sailing
See also Getting Started
We suggest that beginners start by booking a day sail.
- Opportunities for Day Sails are published on the CSD Sailing Programme and CSSC Website. All are booked via the CSSC Website.
- Colin Smith is the point of contact within CSD for organising Day Sails and Group Day Sails and can be contacted via csddaysails@gmail.com
New member with some experience
Those who have sailed before and want to be informed of sailing opportunities such as Sea Time Cruises and Charters where crew are required should ensure that they are registered with the CSD Crew Bureau. Whilst a Day Sail might also be a good starting point (see above), members who have sailed before should also consider booking a Sea Time Cruise.
- Susie Welch is the point of contact for both Sea Time and the Crew Bureau and can be contacted via seatimebureau@channelsailing.org
