Any BREs out there with time to spare for a would be owner?
With retirement a mere two years away, I have been seriously looking at a trailer sailer as a way of getting out on the water. My sailing experience is mostly with 26 to 32 ft chartered sailing boats, mostly in southern Brittany plus a few cross-Channel cruises (Scillies, Cornwall, West Coast of Ireland). I am chronically short of crew and my job has taken me to all kinds of places in Europe where an agile sailing boat could be really useful. I am reluctant to leave the Paris area so its charter or trailer for me!
There are a few trailables around but the Bay Raider Expedition has plenty of attractions. Smart looks, modern design, apparently a lot of thought has gone into the design. I would really like to get a closer look at and I imagine some will be attending the Semaine du Golfe, based on the posts above.
In any case I am staying in the Lorient area all of that week and would really like to meet, chat, crew, drink Muscadet or whatever with anyone willing to let me have a look and trade a few yarns. Even witnessing a launch or recovery, since this is described a suspiciously simple to someone with no experience!
Please let me know
