Sailing in the Solent on Ocean Flame IV
Discover the magic of sailing Ocean Flame IV in the Solent
The Solent is a sailor’s paradise, offering some of the best cruising grounds in the UK. With its sheltered waters, steady winds, and stunning coastline, it’s perfect for sailors of all levels. Enjoy relaxed coastal cruising, exploring charming harbours like Cowes, Yarmouth, and Lymington.
Southampton’s unique double tide system ensures longer sailing windows, while its vibrant maritime culture provides world-class facilities, marinas, and events—including the famous Cowes Week. Whether you're navigating the iconic Needles Channel or anchoring in secluded bays, every voyage promises adventure. GSA often facilitates multi-leg voyages, allowing for crew changes en route.
Ocean Flame IV is a saloon plus 3 cabin version of the popular Bavaria 36, kitted out as a six-berth. It comes with a Volvo MD2030 engine, Webasto heating and hot water shower on back deck.
The 2021 mainsail is fully battened. Previously, Ocean Flame IV was privately owned and features a new spray hood, dodgers, stacker pack, hatch covers and cockpit cushions.
