Not sure on exact numbers for me yet (will be at least two). Fancy camping/roughing it on boat.

Your RIB is plenty big enough. In the past I have made this trip in a 5.85 Ribcraft on a number of occasions. Once you have done it in a group with some experienced skippers you will soon build your confidence to this trip and longer. As with any trip watch the weather, plan well ensure you have more than enough fuel to get thier incase the weather turns bad. Don't forget about arranging for fuel at the other end.

Be nice to see you here too, Martin.
See if you can blag a lift from someone.

Folks, I think we are asking to much for Nick to organise and book B&Bs for everyone, afterall they will require a deposit and if the weather blew up we might not make it. Terefore probably best if individuals make ther own hotel bookings.

Can't remember what the score is with the camp site, last time we just turned up on spec. Brian once the spring arrives could you check to see if two dozen soggy Ribnetters could stay in a field for the night? we should warn them off. The site is quite large, level and has showers, little cafe / shop etc.

Pete

Three, maybe four, of us will be joining if that's OK. However, we will be leaving from Salcombe. Is it possible to arrange a rendezvous somewhere – like in the middle of the Channel?! The whole point of the trip is safety in numbers, camaraderie etc., so we’d like to join up as soon as possible. My limited knowledge tells me that Salcombe is nearer the CIs than Southampton or IOW. Any suggestions on this please?

The chart Stu and I used to come back from Brixham to Portsmouth in Nov, had Brixham on the far left, Needles far right and Alderney bottom right with a big empty space in the middle. Arranging to meet a sea could work or equally go horribly wrong. However hopefully there might be others coming from the SW so perhaps a second convoy could be organised to meet at Alderney.

There was talk of a group coming from your direction on the forum sometime last year. Maybe you could have a dig through the threads and resurrect it to coincide with this jaunt. Although looks like we'll be meeting you at Alderney and not mid channel.

Insurance

In preperation of the Journey it might be prudent for those coming along to think about what insurance cover they have. I know my insurance at present doesn't cover me for a trip to Alderney so its something I'm going to have to sort.

It would be good to catch up Brian

Would have tried to blag a lift already had I been around but its a long way from Cyprus [where I will be having a trip down memory lane in June] to Alderney.

I'll keep on eye on the thread and if dates move may try thumbing it.

Hi Milo, yes, it sounds good. The boat is (or rather will be in a few weeks time) moored in Salcombe, so I'm sure we could arrange a meet just off Brixham somewhere. Will it be just the two boats, rendezvousing with the others in Alderney?

Not sure yet. I'm hoping both of mine will be there and also to rally a few more from here to join us.
depending on the route and timings etc maybe we could converge with some/all of the others further out in the channel...
guess we watch this space and stay in touch

Alderney Trip

Count me in,i live in weymouth & have cruised there many times before & think it is a stunning place the most unspoilt of all the channel islands. I have a Ribcraft 4.8 with 60 Yam in build at the mo it will ready first week in March (fingers crossed) & am confident if they can get around england in one the 48 nautical miles across channel is a walk in the park (small boat, big balls) could meet mid channel or i can arrange launch & trailer storage (at small cost) for those who want to leave from here (its the shortest passage to Alderney from UK) dont mind when ill just fit work in around it, im easy. Spike.

ICC Requirement.

Thanks for all the offers from those who are RYA members. I've got the info I wanted now.

The RYA state that we do not require an ICC to visit Alderney or Guernsey.

However we are required to have the following documentation.

For a UK Registered vessel visiting Guernsey, Jersey and Alderney you will need to carry on board your Ships Registration Papers, evidence of Insurance,proof of vat, vhf licence and radio competency certificate.
Due to the Channel Islands not being in the UK or EU, it is treated as
foreign. You will need to make sure you fill in the necessary CustomForms, you need to complete the C1331 form and post the top copy in a
Customs Box before departure and when arriving back in the UK you need
to complete part 2 of the C1331 form (this is explained on the form).
This form can be obtained from Revenue and Customs, www.hmrc.gov.uk or
telephone 0845 010 9000.

So a little prior paperwork preperation is required. But hopefully this little reminder should have us all sorted in time.
