Naturist Sailing Opportunity
« on: February 11, 2016, 08:19:43 PM »
The BN Sailing group leader has organised some naturist boats in a sailing flotilla and there is currently a vacancy for another couple.
The cruise is from 25 September 2016 - 8 October 2016, in the South Ionian Sea of Greece. September because the sea is at its warmest (26 deg), the winds are less challenging, and the weather usually good. Prices are close to their lowest, and the ports are less busy.The yacht with the vacancy is already crewed by a qualified and experienced couple so this is an ideal opportunity for you to try a sailing holiday in a safe naturist environment.
Please express your interest urgently (but without definite commitment) to myself by private message as he needs to confirm with the flotilla company and they will not hold the provisional booking for ever.

PS I will be on one of the yachts for the second week of the cruise - I'm not sure if that is an incentive or a disincentive.

A Re-post with a bit more information to bump the topic.

The Leader of the British Naturism special interest group for sailing has organised a naturist sailing fortnight in the Ionian seas and is looking for a couple to take up the remaining places on the second yacht.
Ideally we would like one couple for the entire fortnight starting on 25th September but it would be perfectly possible to arrange for two couples to have a week each.
 
He has chosen the Ionian because it is a sheltered area with short distances between ports, there is usually not much swell, and it is full of secluded bays for naturist lunches. It is a very suitable area for less experienced sailors.  Have a look at his pictures here.
The dates are in September because the sea is at its warmest (26 deg), the winds are less challenging, and the weather usually good. Prices are close to their lowest, and the ports are less busy.

 
The yacht is  http://www.sailingholidays.com/yachts/beneteau-343  the fortnight cruise is http://www.sailingholidays.com/flotillas/south-ionian and the cost for a couple for the full fortnight would be of the order of £900 per person including flights. For one week of the cruise the costs would be a bit more than half that.
 
If you are interested in this unique opportunity for non-sailors to experience the pleasures of yachting in a safe naturist environment please respond quickly (without obligation) as we are not sure how long the flotilla company will hold the provisional booking.
