Relax have Fun and Cruise in Style

Do you love sailing, enjoy life and have a sense of humour?  If the answer to all three is yes, then a week's cruise out of a port in West France could be just what you’re looking for - and you could be just what we need to add to our circle of friends and crew!

Vital Spark’s owners are keen to sail as much as possible during the summer months and are always on the lookout for a like-minded people with whom to sail on a shared cost basis. She is not a charter boat and berths are not for sale.

Summer 2010 One-Week Cruises

This year we will be repeating the formula worked out over the last few years and organise a number of one-week cruises from various ports in West Brittany and South Biscay - from places all served by low cost airlines offering cheap flights to the UK.  For further details, including dates of cruises, go to Cruising Calendar and to see a map of Brittany go to http://brittany.angloinfo.com/maps/

Crew's Experience

We are happy to have inexperienced people on board although if you've haven't day sailed before or are not qualified to RYA Competent Crew level, it may not be the boat for you. A sense of humour is always a big plus as is the ability to cook!  In the past there have not been many crew outside the age range 40 to 70.

Vital Spark

Vital Spark is a high-performance Sun Odyssey 45.2 capable of fast, exhilarating cruising in coastal and off-shore waters. With three spacious double cabins, a large airy saloon and great galley facilities, she is ideal for holidays and week-end cruising.  Three crew can be accommodated on each trip (more if there are couples) and there is normally no double occupancy of berths.  She has a very full inventory and she is equipped to DOT Category 2 safety standards but not now certified.  She was built in 2002.
