"Joining Instructions for Lutine"
A typical charter will involve a day sailing to
somewhere in the Solent for lunch, perhaps one
of the sailing clubs at Cowes or maybe dropping anchor
in a quiet bay and enjoying lunch onboard before
a late afternoon return to Gosport. For those
of your guests who want to experience sailing
a powerful offshore cruiser / racer this is a
chance they will relish, but for those who wish
to socialise there needs be no “press gang”
as the boat is equipped with powered winches,
furling sails etc. Longer charters involving over
night stays can also be arranged.
Firstly, navigate to Lutine's
Programme and choose the date that you would
like to charter Lutine. Once a date has been selected,
Click 'Go Sail' which will take you through to
a charter booking form. Please complete all the
form fields. Providing your credit card details
will book the day for you. You will receive
a charter agreement in the post.

The club will help you with advice
on choosing a day, an itinerary for the occasion,
provide directions and joining instructions for
your guests. We can also provide information on
caterers, accommodation, ribs, phootographs etc. A qualified Yachtmaster will
be provided to skipper the day and the boat is
fully equipped with wet weather gear.
Lutine is registered to take up to 12 guests
and 2 crew, however most people prefer to sail
with between 8 and 10 guests.
You might also want to consider
having a photographs taken of your day on the
water or chartering a rib to accompany you or
accommodate more people. Click
here for more details.
The day charter rate varies from £500 to
£1,500 according to the season, this includes
the skipper but will not include food and drink
etc. The daily costs are set out on the website
(refer to Lutine’s programme).
Lutine may also be available for corporate charter
for specific sailing events such as the Round the
Island Race, Cowes
and Cork Weeks. Special rates apply for
these events.
Lutine is available
on a skippered charter basis. Lutine must at all
times be under the overall control of either the
club's own contracted skipper or of a club approved
skipper from the list of approved skippers. Unless
you specify the name of a club approved skipper
that has agreed to assist you
for the charter, the club will provide either
the club's own contracted skipper or a club approved
skipper for your charter.
There is no extra charge, it is
an integral and legally necessary requirement
that the charterer has a skipper that we approve
or contract.
As
a corporate charterer of Lutine you are eligible
to enter any one of the challenges that the Club
has set for the year. The most popular for a
one day charter of Lutine is the Nab Tower
challenge. Out to the Nab Tower and back
again. Talk to Lawrence Nicholls or your skipper
for more information. Click

The Club has an annual regatta for the insurance
industry that is an opportunity to take on your
peers. The Club’s annual dinner
at the end of the season is a chance for crews
to get back together, perhaps with partners and
relive a good day out or a race in like minded
company. See Club
Events for more details
