Experience a serious offshore and mile building trip. There will be night passages on this trip.

A Great chance to see Lands End from the sea with five days of sailing, out of the Bristol Channel, across the Celtic Sea then Round Lands End, following the wind to to Helford and the Fal Estuary on the south coast of Cornwall.

Leaving Milford Haven (Pembrokeshire) , then heading out into the Bristol Channel in the wake of the Pilots of Old. Heading "downalong" into the Celtic Sea. Passing Lands End to Port, close enough if the weathers fine to see waves crashing against Longships Lighthouse. From Lands End we will head along the south coast, where if there's time we will do some exploring before heading into the Fal Estuary.

Plenty of time to get to grips with the intricacies of the Gaff Cutter Rig, Plenty of time on the helm, and as much or as little navigation practice as you would like.

 

This is a serious offshore passage, challenging and rewarding.
