I can assure you I'd be just as much use as a crewmate sober as drunk
Of those of us going, the most experienced sailors don't drink anyway. The daughters' boyfriends will mostly be giggling drunkenly and trading stories of their respective partners' mentalness.

if they don't drink they aren't experience sailors ;)
most of they guys I sail with go from sober to cunted within 14 seconds of getting a line on the pontoon.

we used to charter for weekends a lot
£200 to victual the boat for 8 for two nights meant £50 on bread, ham, cheese and bacon and £150 on wine, gin and vodka. And that was just for the hour or two before you hit the pub.

I could very happily spend a week doing that

Yachts aren't really expensive to charter
but getting skipper qualifications, which you need to charter, unfortunately is.
