Not quite a stag party but certainly a great way to spend time with close family before the big day - at sea with 20 knots of wind!
The boat was perfect and the Captain very knowledgeable - if not an old Sea Salt! The tides and traffic make the Solent challenging waters if you are not so experienced and having the Captain proved to be the right choice. Nevertheless, all my crew had a chance to feel the joys of sail and the power of nature.
The boat moored in Southhampton was convenient and the free parking a bonus. However, having arrived late on the Friday with no one to ask, my quartermaster struggled to locate the jetty and the boat.
