GREAT SAILING VACATIONS FOR 2009!

St. Martin

We still have a few berths available for our group trip in The Leeward Antilles including St. Martin/St. Maarten, Anguilla and St. Barts. This cruise will be in conjunction with the Sequoia Yacht Club Mega Cruise. Also, it's the Summer Sailstice, a world wide sailing celebration of the longest day in the northern hemisphere.

Spinnaker Sailing has only two of the boats to fill, a 44 foot Beneteau monohull and a 43 foot cat. Please contact Bob, as soon as possible to get a space on his boat or to charter one of the boats. We'll be cruising locations in three different territories, French Caribbean, Dutch and British West Indies. There's no other way to experience so much cruising variety in one 7 1/2 day bareboat charter. See our St. Martin webpage for more details.

Cost: $1895 singles (in own cabin)
$1695/person couples or singles sleeping in a forward bunk or in the main salon
Check with Bob for rates if you want to fill your own charter yacht.

BVI 09

There are many reason we go to BVI every winter. Good prices, nice weather, not too crowded anchorages, great sailing, beautiful white sandy beaches, warm water, terrific visibility, lots of colorful wildlife, and don't forget Conch Fritters! Sailing in the BVI's is a little like sailing here at home as well. You are always in sight of land, great sailing conditions, lots of places to go to and things to do. Check out our BVI page and then sign up soon. There is limited spaces available as we limit our capacity to make plenty of room aboard for comfortable sailing and relaxation. Contact Bob for more details.
