SCOTLAND

12-METRES
There are a number of chances to sail 12-Ms, the class to have held the longest reign as America’s Cup yachts (1958-87) and, in 1908, 1912 and 1920, an Olympic class. In Britain, there is the syndicate-owned Sceptre and in America’s Rhode Island, Elizabeth Tiedemann has amassed a beautiful boat collection that includes three classic 12-Ms (pre-America’s Cup years) that can be chartered for match racing days.

TURKISH GULET
We hear things are improving in the eastern Med, but gulets still come with a serious warning: touted as sailing boats, very few of them ever set their sails – the great majority indeed have ornamental masts and no sails. We only know of one company that sails and, after weeks in the Turkish and Greek Islands, have seen no others! The Greek and Turkish islands and coasts are still legendary and, these days, rather under-subscribed.
Sailing Cruises in Comfort SCIC operates a fleet of five traditional wooden gulets (6-16 passengers), fully crewed, with en-suite cabins. Prices, for whole-boat charter or individuals, are very reasonable. Cruise the Turkish coastline and Greek and Turkish islands – or opt for a themed cruise (cooking, for example).
