Webinar by Haven Knox-Johnston: Cruising the Isles of Scilly - A practical cruising guide for sailors

Details

The Isles of Scilly are a distinctive archipelago off the south west tip of Cornwall. Made up of dozens of islands, rocks, and skerries, they offer clear water, sheltered anchorages, white sand beaches, wildlife, and an atmosphere that feels a world away from the mainland.

In this webinar, Robin Baron, President of the Cruising Association and the South West England Regional Editor for 'The Cruising Almanac', shares practical, first-hand knowledge to help you plan and enjoy a trip to the Isles of Scilly.

What this webinar covers:

• Planning your passage and choosing the right weather window
• Key navigation considerations and approaches
• Essential preparation for boat and crew
• Anchoring and mooring options around the islands
• Highlights of St Mary's, Tresco, Bryher, St Martin's and St Agnes
• A live Q&A with Robin

For cruising sailors, the Isles of Scilly are a firm favourite. They offer a wonderfully varied experience, where one day might be spent swimming off the boat in clear water or watching seals from the cockpit, and the next exploring quiet beaches, wandering the islands footpaths, or enjoying a relaxed meal ashore. With the main islands close together, passage times are short, leaving plenty of time to explore and fully enjoy what each island has to offer.
