Tamar River Sailing Club

Cruising

Here is an outline of cruise plans for 2024, Weather permitting!

This year we will run the Commodore’s Cruise to Fowey on 25th May, 11:00 start in the sound, with a BBQ on the Grid Iron pontoon. Make sure to get this popular event in your diary!

The Trevor Parrott Memorial Race to Salcombe (May 4th, 10:00 start) is also a cruise for those who don’t want to race.

Other cruising suggestions for 2024:

  • Scillies, late May/early June, possibly leaving from Fowey after the Commodore’s Cruise.
  • Falmouth, Helford, Portscatho, taking in the Falmouth Sea Shanty Festival 14-16 June
  • Yealm 6/7 July
  • Other suggested short-range destinations: Polhawn Cove, Dandy Hole
  • Possible long-range destinations: Guernsey, Brittany, Ireland…

The idea is to be flexible, and spontaneous!

Details of trips to one or more of these places will be posted on the WhatsApp group nearer to the time – once the weather outlook is clear.

All members of the cruising group are encouraged to post invitations to others on the WhatsApp group if they would like company on a trip they are planning.
