A challenging sailing area lies ahead, where the forces of the tidal current set the natural pace. With its high volume of traffic, the English Channel is also a varied area for shipspotters. During the passage through the Channel, you will have plenty of time to enjoy a few days of peace and quiet on board while experiencing an active maritime holiday under sail. An optional shore leave and the "zero meridian baptism" provide additional entertainment.
