Ok Guys, i may not be able to do this event myself but i have gathered some information that may be of interest and some recommendations.
If anyone would like to contribute to this thats fine too.

A passage plan to be submitted to the coast guard.
Passports are recommended.
Needles to Alderney 60Nm. ( this was calculated using google earth, if anyone can confirn please do!)

http://www.sailalderney.com/harbour.html

Designate a VHF channel to this cruise and maintain radio contact with fleet, CH16 for coast guard and CH 74 for Alderney harbour master.

http://www.guernseyharbours.gov.gg/vhf.htm

Refuelling stop at Alderney if needed and meet with any of th Channel Island Clubs for run into Guernsey (if they want to of course!).

Safety is paramount and all skippers are in charge of their own vessels.
Charts should be up to date and safety equipment is the responsibility of the skipper.
Remember that weather could affect the departure of the return journey so forward planning is necessary.

http://www.guernseyharbours.gov.gg/marinaMaps.htm

I will be gathering more information regarding berths and marinas and will post it when i can.

Paul,

I'll respond to you in more detail via PM, but we'd definately be up for getting a meet & greet party up to Alderney. Would be an awesome run back down!

Harbours are great over here, fuel is incredibly cheap and the atmosphere's brilliant, if 'Lain' is involved, you're sure of a good night (and most likely morning!) out!!

It's a shame the bank holiday weekend is clashing with cowes, we've got a 'round the island' poker run on which promises to be a great event.
That said, once you guys have the feel for coming over, we'll aim to organise events with you all in mind to see what you could join in with.

If you'd like to know what's going on with the racing & poker runs locally you can get all the info on www.guernsey-powerboat-association.com, or contact me on 07781 122 363, I'd be more than happy to help.

Look forward to seeing you all over here!!

James

Fair enough mate, that is something that may need addressing at a meeting at drivers one weekend. I have gathered some more info for you guys that I will post soon.

I have spoken to Alderney harbour master and he tells me the Channel Island tourist board will be at the Southampton boat show, can i suggest anyone interestd in this cruise go to their stand as they will have info packs that will include info on customs and excise paperwork, waters and cruising.
All the best
Paul

We took the two extremes over to Guernsey last month on under a full tank of fuel and a crate of beer which run out before the diesel.
Planning to go over on the 20th if anyone is interested ?

Hello mate, I just ain't had time at the moment, but to be honest as its a fun get together i'm not sure exactly is needed, it may be worth talking to gill as far as the club goes. I have done a recommended course to follow and itinerary but who ever wants to do it needs to voice some dates. I will send what I have done to the club and someone may need to finnish a few things off. The main things are if you want a social while over there, moorings which I have some info, your own fuelling stops and meeting the CI guys. I na get a few things done tomorrow if I can.

Sounds good. Mooring won't be an issue, I can get that sorted for you but it's not busy from now on. Same with accomodation right next to the marina.

We're doing our 'round the island' poker run on the 26th September, which would be an awesome trip for any of you from the UK, I couldn't recommend it enough, would possibly be a great weekend to come across?

Failing that, we have races on 12th Sept (herm outer), 10th October (herm inner, phenominal course!!), and 30th October (havelet course), which would all be worth coming to see or compete in, we have inboard/cruiser classes etc!!

As for the rest of the organisation, bear in mind Paul, the more involved you get, the more responsible you ar if something goes tits up. Just something to think of. With a suggested route, itinerary and mooring/accomodation sorted I think you've got it sussed. Just need people to agree on a date, sign on to give an idea of numbers and pay in advance for mooring/hotel fees.

Anything I can do, just shout.

Cheers, James

Thanks very much james, what I meant by the organising was just basically gathering info regarding customs protacal etc. And the course was just an idea for those that have never done a trip like this to see what it's about. Obviously who ever takes part is responsible for their craft and crew.

Well, our round the island poker run is on the 26th September, who wants to come over for that? It'll be an amazing day for sure!
If that's too soon, our herm inner race, which is unlike anything you've seen before, is on October 10th. Well worth coming to watch or compete!

If youre gonna come across, it may as well be when something is on. Let me know what date you can do by replying on here asap and I'll get it sorted.

Please excuse any typos, having to work by phone at the mo as no internet in new flat yet!

Cheers, James
