In 2013 i attended this event for the first time along with Andy Dingle and Jonathon Stuart. Andy took his Bayraider 20 Tony Langmead took his CBL Four Sisters and we shared a large cottage at a very reasonable cost. I can't promote this event enough for the lovely sailing area, the warmth and generosity of the locals, the excellent organisation and safety cover whilst sailing.
In total roughly 10 Swallow Boats attended the festival if i remember correctly it could have been more.
If you haven’t attended before think about it seriously, the journey is not difficult, Plymouth overnight ferry to Roscoff and a couple of hours drive at the other end share a cabin and get a good night’s sleep.
I must admit i had my concerns on going initially, especially when you read the stories on the fast tidal races and strong currents, but in truth we had no problems or concerns once we were on the water, the day's port to port sailing went without a hitch.
If you want to raise any questions on this event, many of the forum members have been several times, and as i said before some just the once.
I have registered my Boat for next year Joybells (Bayraider 20 GRP) see website

In 2013 we booked an cottage which slept 10 and this worked out well for cost and having two cars for ferrying about, i will be organising something similar for next year so let me know if interested in sharing, not only is it cost effective but good for evening company and boat banter.
