Milebuilding in the sunshine 4th to 11th June 2010

[admin]

Our Milebuilding Weeks take place every month and are on board one of our larger Club class yachts.  On these longer boats we can cover the miles more quickly due to the longer yacht having a faster hull speed, and on a more stable platform than on our smaller Bavaria 36’s.  During the week you will either “go west” or “go east” depending on the weather conditions.  Going west you will visit La Gomera, La Palma and often El Hierro and cover approx 350 miles in the week.  The trip east covers more miles — going up wind past Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura to Lanzarote—before sailing back overnight to Tenerife.  During this week you will expect to cover in excess of 400 miles.
