Hobie Cat Sailing
Yesterday had a "sail" or rather float around St Aubin's bay with my wife. With an early morning high tide and a great sunny warm forecast with some wind it looked ideal. In reality everything was perfect except the zero wind.
But the week before with my son helming we took part in the first races of the season. Best sailing I've ever had with great weather and steady good wind. We flew along. Great fun.
The weekend coming is the second weekend of racing so let's hope the wind is up.
If you are coming to Jersey whilst you cannot hire a Hobie you can hire sailing boats at St Brelade's bay just a couple of miles from Les Ormes. Check out

Les Ormes Farm Self Catering
The conversion of 3 units to self catering accommodation at Les Ormes is complete. The two large one bedroom and one 3 bedroom unit are located to the side of Les Ormes in the quietest area of the site which in the old days was the Farm house cluster of buildings.
But the new units are not old, rather they are striking and modern, very light and practical. They overlook the 4th golf tee with easy car parking and good walks from the door to the sand dunes near by.
Check out the rates on our self catering pages as they are bound to become very popular.
New Self Catering Units
Summer 2012 will see 4 new self catering units at Les
Ormes
.
The Alamo
, a large 5 bedroom 12 person unit will open in time for June half term. The Alamo is a unique building. It was built by the Germans in WW2 as a target range for
Meschesmitt
planes to align their guns, a bit like a rifle range. It was built using the granite from the farm fields surrounding it and was made to look like a farm house (sort of!). After the war is was used as a store area. In the early 1970's when Les
Ormes
was a camp site it was used as the camp shop. By the mid 1990's Les
Ormes
opened the golf course and had ended camping. It was then used as a store and part of the green keepers shed.
The Alamo has granite and mounded earth on three sides facing the sea to the west. These will remain and the infill and east facing side will create the self catering unit. The two storey unit will have a roof terrace so guests can overlook the 9
th
golf hole and beautiful Rocco Tower in St
Ouen's
Bay.
This unit will be ideal for large families either three generation or two families together. It will be great for family gatherings.
As part of this project the
Gravel car park
will be paved with suitable lighting. The paving will have a special membrane to prevent any car oils seeping into the ground. This will give more spaces.
Les
Ormes
Farm located in a very quiet area about 200m away from the main Les
Ormes
buildings and on the side of the golf course will see one three bedroom and two one bedroom units ready for June half term. These buildings were built new in a
contemporary
style 5 years ago as staff units. The larger unit will sleep 6 and the smaller ones 2+2.
Bookings are being taken for these units now on the Les Ormes website www.lesormesjersey.co.uk
Our advice is always book early as you will save enormously on air fares. Once we get to the New Year the summer units fill up very quickly.
