Meniscus of Gweek, a Bruce Roberts 45, will be your home for the voyage. Meniscus means the smallest crescent of the moon and Gweek is a village at the top of the beautiful Helford River in Cornwall where she was fitted out.

Meniscus has been surveyed and approved as an RYA Training vessel, and hence this is your opportunity to take an RYA course in one of the most beautiful areas of the world.

The accommodation comprises 8 berths in 4 cabins outside the saloon, and 2 heads, one of which is fitted with shower. In general, except for occasional race weeks, four or possibly six guest berths will be filled, allowing plenty of space and stowage for each person on board.

Some years ago Mark trained as a chef, and has effectively adapted these skills to the confined conditions of a yacht’s galley where he rustles up hearty meals whatever the conditions. Depending on availability there is always a range of local and international cuisine, including freshly caught sea food whenever possible.

Bruce Roberts yachts are designed and proven to be robust blue water cruisers able to provide a good general level of performance as well as being capable of withstanding heavy conditions should the need arise. She has proved herself to be a good all round boat capable of making good passage times and sailing through several storms.

Meniscus is available for skippered charter, RYA Sailing Courses and Adventure Cruises.

Meniscus may be chartered exclusively for the duration of your holiday, or alternatively if you are happy to meet other like minded people, you could choose to take a berth instead.
