Scotland to Scilly (from Netherlands)

Starting from the Rotterdam area, the voyage will cross the North Sea to Inverness, continue through the Caledonian Canal, followed by coastal hopping to the Scilly Islands and the Isle of Wight (nights at anchor or the occasional marina), before returning across the English Channel back to the Netherlands.

The passage is estimated at 5–6 weeks, with relaxed cruising. Night sailing (watches) only during the 2 offshore crossings. Start of July to half august (no fixed dates)

I am looking for experienced crew since I would appreciate feedback on how best to equip my yacht for a first ocean crossing. Practical and technical advice, as well as experience with crew and general management should be part of your skill set.

All food on board will be provided. Valid passport and ETA for UK necessary.

The yacht is comfortable (2 cabins, hot water, plenty of room, orca navigation, ais...)

  • Boat descriptionA true classic sailing yacht with timeless lines, traditionally built in steel. This SEAL (zeehond), however, designed by E.G. van de Stadt for his eldest brother J.H. van de Stadt, offers a modern twist: a lightweight polyester (fiberglass) hull. This makes her noticeably lighter and far more responsive on the water, while still featuring the same trusted rigging—resulting in a remarkably agile and genuinely performance oriented sailing experience. Inside, she surprises with a beautifully crafted wooden interior and an impressive sense of space for a 36-foot yacht, including a spacious galley, making her warm, inviting, and perfect for extended cruising or comfortable living aboard.

I had captain Katja many times as a crewmember so she is more than experienced now. Fun company always in for a midnight swim. Great sailing area in a small but comfy boat. One advice: three bottles of red wine a day as fee is recommended to keep her happy ;-)
