Crossing Biscay Seminar

Biscay
Date: 
Sat, 08/02/2025 - 10:30

For many mariners, crossing the Bay of Biscay requires a longer passage than they have previously taken and although conditions in the Biscay are kinder during summer than other seasons, careful planning will increase the chances of a successful and more comfortable passage. The seminar will cover the resources available to help you plan your Biscay crossing together with presentations from fellow CA Members on their experiences undertaking their own Biscay crossings.
