Raid England

The objective is to encourage recreational coastal voyaging in attractive locations using only sail and oar, to encourage the use of traditional boats which are well-suited to the objective, and the development of new boats which are able to carry on the sail-and-oar tradition.  A successful fleet will gather 20-40 boats of a wide range of designs and abilities, from a number of European countries, from 10 feet to 30 in length, largely gaff or lug-rigged, some better at sailing, some at rowing, but all capable of making progress at both.
