WEST COUNTRY
Unlike many of Britain’s sailing areas, the appeal of the West Country is a taste of real oceanic sailing: deep Atlantic swell, blue sea as far as the eye can see – even the chance of a bit of game-fishing if you are... well, game. Combine that with great river sailing and the beautiful little villages of Devon and Cornwall that come tumbling down hills into the sea, sandy beaches, cream teas, good shellfish and great pubs and you’ve got it made.

BAREBOAT
Unsurprisingly, there aren’t many classics that can be hired ‘bare’. Here are a few on the East Coast and in the West
Classic Sailing Club (left) This is the best of them, owned by enthusiasts, and based on Suffolk’s River Orwell with a fleet of three classic sailing yachts: the 1957 SCOD Hampshire Maid (26ft), the 1957 Buchanan-designed yacht Marcita (31ft) and the 1966 Buchanan-designed Caressa (37ft), all three reasurringly bermudan. The CSC also offers sailing in company, crewed charter and RYA training. Tel: +44 (0)870 3001066,

Cornish Blue Untested, but sounds fun: two 19ft (5.8) Cornish Shrimpers (plastic cabin gaffers) out of Mylor. Tel: +44 (0)1637 876210,
