Got to be the Isle of Wight....!
English speaking (sort of)
Same currency
By the sea
Not too hot (maybe wet)
Fly to Southampton and enjoy the short Ferry ride over
Good fishing
Nice castle
Quaint towns
And if you time it right you could come to a New Forest kit car meet on the way

Eiffel regoin of Germany has many plus points for sightseer/petrolhead or gourmet. Not too hot or far from home for the better half and a great base
camp for exploring really spectacular parts of Europe.
Beer is served in dustbins and Holland a stones throw away too!
Appeals more than a beach to me anyway especially if you dont mind some driving as part of the trip.

A vote here for the South of France. September is a great time to go, can hit 30s regularly. You like boats, Cannes boat show is the second week in
Sept - awesome, haven't missed it for 6 years 
If you stay somewhere central (Frejus is a good spot) St Tropez isn't far away, neither is Nice. Port Grimaud is well worth a visit too. A few
companies at La Baume campsite do 2 weeks for the price of 1 in September as it's their last 2 weeks of the season so a very cheap holiday can
be had. Last time we stayed there it cost £500 for 2 weeks including car hire and flights to Nice - it don't get much cheaper!!

Because kits are for girls!!

i would like to say a big thankyou to everyone who has suggested somewhere, i appreciate it. Boat show as suggested by marcus sounds like a great
idea, have a bloody scan on the 8th sept but can work round it! 
Did florida last year, would be a bit beyond my means to go two years in a row!
I actually learned to sail on the isle of wight, at the medina valley centre, nice place!
Thanks again all!
