Boat bits

I have had confirmation from Vagelis that the Club boats are fully equipped.  The Greek team uses them so they are well looked after.

The only things we need to bring are (1) sails (2) compass, optional (3) wind indicator, as they dont use them in Greece! (4) main sheet, optional

No need to bring mast clamp or bailers

Travel Insurance

Just a reminder that each sailor will need to have travel insurance for our trip to Greece. 

For your information:
I just purchased a family 'yachtsman travel insurance' for the year and it covers children who are travelling without their parents (but with a responsible adult over age 25).  This is with Bishop Skinner which is the RYA recommended insurer for travel insurance. 

Of course it is entirely up to you.  If your current travel insurance covers the sailor for sailing (training, not racing) and covers when they travel without the parents, then it may well be that you don't need any additional cover.
