Exploring East Coast

Semi retired skipper who used to sail single handed a lot is enjoying having company onboard and there is safety in numbers:). You can be novice or experienced, more important we get on. Not in to overnight passages unless essential as much prefer staying overnight in marina's and having a decent meal and perhaps a beverage.

If you are experienced and want to passage plan and skipper I wouldn’t object once I am confident of ability.

Clean comfy boat, general mod cons incl. heating, hot water, Shower, oven, microwave and fridge. The boat is kept maintained and updated.

Currently making plans for spring Summer with lots of two to five day weekends sailing to destinations along Suffolk, Essex and Kent coast and a two week trip to France and Channel Islands (Europe trip fully booked now.) The boat is berthed at a marina near Ipswich/Felixstowe.

If that sounds like the sort of sailing you want to do, get in touch.

Thanks for reading, Paul

  • Boat descriptionNot a racing boat but nice and sturdy and with a fin keel so points fairly well in to the wind. I consider the boat well equipped and comfy and stocked with plenty of snacks, food and drink. Cabins and saloon heated for winter sailing. Works well for single handed sailing so really easy with some crew. Life jackets and life lines onboard for Crew members to use but bring appropriate clothing for time of year. Full up to date chart plotter at helm and chart table, Radar, AIS, Auto helm and all paper charts for passage planning. Usual safety equipment incl. 6 man life raft (recently serviced,) EPIRB, DSC VHF Radio, Handheld VHF, PLB, MOB Sling, up to date flare pack as well as Horseshoe & Danbuoy and boat is fitted with smoke, carbon-monoxide and bilge gas alarms to help keep us safe. USB charge sockets in all cabins, 6 in total so enough for everyone. Boat and engine annually serviced and everything onboard is working and up to date - more than I could say about some of the charter boats I have been on:(

A pleasure to sail with

I just finished a great weekend of relaxing sailing in good company. Paul is easygoing and very safe as well as being very well organised. I'm looking forward to my next trip with him on his well kitted out boat.

Its been an absolute delight to sail with Paul on his beautiful immaculate boat. Paul is so easy to get on with, his planning is really organised, he is very safe, cares about his crew and is incredibly hospitable and fun. I have sailed with a lot of skippers and Paul is one of the best. Thank you Paul and see you soon 

Lovely boat and great skipper

I've been on 2 trips with Paul and thoroughly enjoyed each of them. Porschia is a very comfortable, clean and well equipped boat and Paul is an ever so friendly, safety conscious and knowledgeable skipper. Whether you're a beginner or have experience, you'll have a great time with East Coast Sailing. All the best for future trips, Craig
