Le Journal
Chaque bateau tient un journal de bord manuscrit. Voici des pages récentes des deux dernières saisons — une réponse plus longue qu'une brochure ne peut en donner à la question de ce qu'est vraiment une semaine avec le club.

Western Med · small boat
South Menorca, off Cala en Turqueta
Left Palma at seven under a clear sky. The wind found us past Cabrera and stayed until Menorca. Our skipper made grilled sardines on the little stove — the first proper meal of the trip. Anchored by dusk in a cove we had almost to ourselves.

Cala Formentor, Mallorca
Third day of a Balearic voyage. The wind dropped at dusk, and the bay was empty enough that we could hear conversations from the shore. Two guests spotted a pod of dolphins from the bow before breakfast — the boat drifted for twenty minutes on their account.

Eastern Med · small boat
Between Paros and Naxos, Cyclades
Wind up to a six by late afternoon; we took a second reef and everyone was glad of it. A small boat, but a very well-behaved one — she pushed through the meltemi swell like she'd been doing it for fifty years, which of course she has. Alongside at 03:40. Coffee at four. Sleep by half past.

Western Med · small boat
Bay of Sant Elm, west Mallorca
Winter refit signed off on Thursday, first guests aboard on Friday. The boat felt new — new sheets, new sails, new coat on the topsides. Ate paella ashore at a place we've been going to since 2016. The owner remembers members by first name now.

Eastern Med · small boat
Sifnos, western Cyclades
Vathi bay, empty. Water clear enough to see the anchor set from the surface. The taverna at the head of the bay served us octopus stew and cold retsina; the walk back to the tender was thirty meters of soft sand. Guests asked to stay a second night.

Western Med · the Flagship
Anse Faliraki, north Corsica
Forecast said mistral by Tuesday. We ran for Corsica overnight from Sardinia, anchored in a bay called Faliraki — the one everyone knows for the pines. Members disembarked twenty-four hours ahead of schedule, entirely happy. Weather-following is what the boat is for.
