"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
