Voyages available NOW
Book now for 2010!
The following list gives dates, prices and start and finish ports for currently available voyage. For mixed voyages, if we have details about crew members who have already booked, we aim to give information to help you choose a voyage that would suit you.
Two of these voyages are particularly important for us to fill at this stage - please pass this flyer round your friends, or print a copy for noticeboards etc. Other voyages still need crew but already have enough people that we don't need to be so concerned about them.
The list does NOT tell you where a voyage is likely to go between start and finish ports. This is very dependent on the weather, but also on the crew. Some people want to do long-distance adventures and are keen to sail all night in difficult conditions, others want a gentler introduction to sailing. Some groups have passports, others don't; some crews are fit and confident, others include young people with special needs. The decision about where to go therefore depends on you - we don't decide in advance.
Where a voyage says "full group booking available" it means an organisation can book all 12 places, and we can design the voyage to meet your specific needs. You can also allocate the places as you choose between young people and group leaders. We can even run it as an all-adult voyage - just contact us to discuss your requirements.

Please take a look at our 2010 programme for updates. Where voyages are marked "enquiry" on the programme, it means that no written confirmation has been received and no deposit paid, so if you really want that voyage, please ask. We will then go back to the original client and see if they want to confirm - if not, you may be able to book the voyage. "Reserved" means a deposit has been paid and we are just waiting for the full fee.
Contact the office to make a booking.
Other places will become available if provisional enquiries are not confirmed, so please keep checking back, or sign up for our e-newsletter by emailing "subscribe" to webmaster1@oytsouth.org in order to hear about new vacancies by email.
