Voyage Description

Isles of Scilly

Isles of Scilly on a Pilot Cutter

This archipelago of granite islands will take your breath away with their natural beauty and island hopping on an eye-catching boat will provide you with images you will always treasure. The offshore passage from St Mawes goes around mainland Britain’s most southerly point – The Lizard, past Wolf Rock. Still going almost due West we go south of Lands End and across to the Isles of Scilly. This voyage can be challenging or totally benign, but it is a route rich in sea mammals - we often see basking sharks, dolphins, and pilot whales, as well as a wealth of ocean seabirds.

The thrill of spotting the Isles of Scilly when this fascinating archipelago first appears over the horizon never goes away, however many times you visit. Choosing and making your destination in the Scillies is greatly cherished because not only do you arrive in style under sail but you have been part of the journey, your effort and team work has made it possible. You get a sense of achievement never found on a jet plane.

Exploring the Scillies

Annabel J  tries to enjoy a different anchorage each night :- The Cove on St Agnes with its disappearing sandy causeway; Old Grimsby or St Helens Pool under the sweep of Round Island lighthouse; the fjord like passage between Tresco and Bryher; The bustle of Hugh Town harbour; or chill out amongst the uninhabited Eastern Isles with only seals and Peregrine Falcons for company. The white glittering sands are reminiscent of the Seychelles, the turquoise waters are crystal clear, but the water temperature is refreshingly British! It is a paradise for divers so if you are into snorkelling please feel free to bring masks and wetsuits (we’ll squash them in somewhere !). Exploring ashore is a key part of the holiday with tropical Tresco Abbey Gardens to visit, or you can wander lonely as a cloud over purple heathland or beach comb amongst the oystercatchers. We often hire the expert guide services of Will Wagstaff – who lives on the islands and is an entertaining expert on its wildlife. The pilotage between the islands is complex and fascinating if you are interested in navigation. We sail when the tides or winds are right, either between the islands or around the edges.

Sail to the Isles of Scilly on Annabel JExperience Needed

There is no experience needed for Isles of Scilly voyages on Annabel J but we ranks them as a harder than normal voyage. Sailing to the Scillies from St Mawes involves a 60-70 mile passage each way, which usually takes 10-15 hours sailing, which can be very tiring if you have never sailed before. Much of the passage is out of sight of land, and if we encounter unexpected rough weather it can take many hours before we reach a sheltered harbour.

Island Life Dependant on Boats

In the Scillies there are no marinas or places where Annabel J can tie alongside, so there is a lot of getting in and out of dinghies, and the anchorages are typically remote with limited or no facilities ashore.

A determined beginner with a sense of adventure, and a realistic view to the possibility of seasickness on their first long day at sea, should quickly find their sea legs. After a fantastic first taste of offshore sailing – they can relax, stretch their legs ashore, and enjoy shorter hops under sail as we explore a stunning archipelago, with a friendly community that respects visiting sailors.

Weather

Please remember this is an active adventure holiday, influenced greatly by winds and tides. In the event of prolonged bad weather the Isles of Scilly can become unsuitable as a sailing area and the skipper may have to seek more sheltered sailing grounds.

Annabel J - Join at 4pm on St Mawes Quay.

All itineraries are subject to the weather and the skipper’s decision.
 

Day One

Once on board a safety and facility briefing will be given. Very soon you will be hoisting sails and getting under way.
The objective for the first day is get you to see how it feels to sail on Annabel J and to go somewhere different overnight that is a suitable starting point for sailing to the Scilly Isles the next morning. Alternatively it may be possible to head straight of to the Isles of Scilly, it all depends on the waether, tides, crews abilities and Phil the skippers decision.

Day Two going to the isles of Scilly

All Isles of Scilly voyages are designed to start during a period of Spring Tides. It’s not important that you know this but for the skipper it makes the passage to the Scillies quicker. You will rise early may be 5 or 6 am and aim to catch the west going tide as you round the Manacles Buoy and head South West for the Lizard Point. Once round the most southerly point of mainland Britain you head due west for the Isles of Scilly. Mounts Bay is to then north of you and Wolf Rock in the distance ahead of you.
Shortly before lunch time the skipper will be deciding which part of the Scillies to head for. This then in turn tells you if you are going to leave Wolf Rock to the north or south of you.
During the afternoon its time to keep a sharp lookout for the Scilly Islands and make that famous cry “Land ahoy”.
You should be safely anchored or moored in the Scillies in time for a late supper and and an early night after a long days sailing.

Day Three – in the Scillies

This is normally a day ashore to explore you nearest inhabited island. Hopefully Will Wagstaff will be on hand to take you as a private group around the Island pointing out the wildlife, flora and fauna as you go. Will’s main love is ornithology but he also gives a brilliant introduction to the history and social life of the Scilly Islands. It makes everything you see from then on so much more understandable and interesting. You might think that the skipper would not bother with this as they have seen it all before, think again. The Scillies is so full of interest that it is always fascinating to join Will in some good banter and catch up on the latest news.  The image here is of a gig boat off Tresco.
It maybe that at the end of the day in the early evening you sail Annabel J to a different anchorage.

Day Four - in the Scillies

Really difficult to tell where you will be or what you are doing. But it will be in the Scillies and you could be visiting one of the following islands, St Mary’s which is the main port, harbour by the settlement of Hugh Town. Tresco and its Abbey Gardens, Bryher and its rugged western coastline, St Martins and its long almost deserted northern beaches or St Agnes with its intimate scale and famous Turks Head Inn.

Day Five - in the Scillies

Another day to explore these fascinating islands. If the weather is suitable now is the day to visit an un-inhabited Eastern Isle. We have found that you need time to slow to the pace of life in the Scillies and visiting an island free of humans is enjoyed more fully at a relaxed pace. The island we visit is open to visitors but some of the other uninhabited islands are bird sanctuaries and no visitors are allowed. On the island you can cross a small tidal causeway and visit a bronze age dwelling. Stand in the doorway and look out to sea, nothing has changed in this view for four thousand years!

Day Six- sailing back to the Mainland and St Mawes

It’s another early start as you leave the Scillies and sail back to the Mainland, it’s a long passage and as the Scillies drops below the horizon behind you all you can do is start planning how you can come back another time. You should make landfall in time for a late supper and a little refreshment to celebrate your passage to and from the Scillies.

Day Seven – departure

After a full breakfast we take you ashore for about 10am and wish you a safe journey home and look forward to seeing you again.

St Mawes

Joining or leaving point.

Assemble towards the end of St Mawes Quay. There is only one quay right in the centre of the village. If the tide is in you will be able to board directly on to Eve of St Mawes or Annabel J. If there is not enough tide you will be taken out to your pilot cutter by dinghy.

Getting to or from your port.

Ferry is the best way. Contact St Mawes Ferry on 01872 861 911 or 07855 438 674 http://www.kingharryscornwall.co.uk/ferries Ferries are hourly in winter and three per hour in the summer.

Service No 50 - Tel 0871 200 2233 

Plane

Newquay Airport (NQY) is about 40 miles away and about £55 taxi fare.

Taxi - You can book a local taxi on 01326 279 042 or 07971 104 909 ask for Graham.

Flights currently from London Gatwick, London City Airport, Belfast City, Durham, Edinburgh, Leeds – Bradford, Manchester, Stansted. See http://www.flightmapping.com/maps/UKIreland 

Road

The A30 is the best route into Cornwall for St Mawes – if you follow a Sat Nav you will probably be taken via King Harry Car Ferry which is not the quickest route but is worth doing for the experience.

The best way is to leave the A30 at Fraddon and follow the B3275 until it meets the A390 where you turn left for a little way back towards St Austell. Then follow the signs to the right for the A3078 which ends in St Mawes. 

Parking

There are two car parks in St Mawes both trouble free and requiring coins.

St Mawes Quay Car Park is very convenient as it is where you join your voyage but is a little more expensive.

St Mawes Central Car Park run by the St Just in Roseland Parish Council at about £18.00 for 6 days is recommended. It is just a minute walk from the Quay. 

History

St Mawes has a beautiful Tudor Castle built at King Henry 8th directions to be half of the Castles that protected the Fal from the Spanish. The Castle is unique in being in the shape of a clover leaf without any later spoiling additions. It was in constant military usage from 1568 to 1918 when it was handed over to what is now English Heritage.

The artist William Turner made St Mawes famous by painting a scene of the fishing harbour with the Castle on the hill behind, very Italianette,  http://www.tate.org.uk/servlet/ViewWork?workid=14744&tabview=image

 St Mawes was the main port for Falmouth Pilot Boats and is still an active fishing village.

With her pedigree of a working vessel she can stand a lot of canvas and is surprisingly swift, even in light airs. Annabel J is the ideal passage making boat for wanting those to go further afield or experience a channel crossing at impressive speeds. Skipper Phil is also keen to encourage potential voluntary mates who can sail regularly on ‘A.J.’

Sailing in Company at the Pilot Cutter Races

Annabel J Annabel J will be joining the Pilot Cutter World Championship in St Mawes in June. Sail to Cornwall along the South Coast and join this spectacular event organised by Classic Sailing purely for original pilot cutters and authentic replicas. The event usually attracts 8-11 pilot cutters.

See Pilot Cutter Review 2012

A personal review of the Review

Isles Of Scilly

Skipper Phil has followed in Eves footsteps and is now a regular summer visitor to the Isles of Scilly off Lands End. In 2012 he has several Cornish Coast and Isles of Scilly voyages on his programme.
 

Solent Short Breaks

Skipper Phil is an expert on Annabel J’s home ground the Solent and being close to the South East he offers many excellent and convenient short breaks. There is good sailing at all times of year and on Annabel J you will stand out from the crowd.

Channel Islands

Guernsey is the capital of the Channel Islands Bailiwick and St Peter Port seems like a little piece of Monaco. With all the shopping tax free, it’s the perfect place to stock up on a few bargains.
Alderney is dominated by the massive Braye harbour, sheltered by the half mile long breakwater. Alternatively you can anchor off Sark which is straight out of ‘Treasure Island’. Getting to the interior is an adventure in itself. In common with many island communities, the island wildlife is in abundance with huge sea bird colonies lying just off shore. There are always the regular visits of basking sharks and dolphins as well as the local resident seals.

Brest and Douarnenez 2012

These are two independant festivals that come together every four years to create 2 weeks of festivities. You can join her for either of these festivals, or package them together for a special price and save on airfares.

Sail across the channel on Annabel J to Brest, and enjoy the shore side fun and the racing within the Rade de Brest, a fantastic inland sea. Then, either fly home, or join her on the Parade of Sail down to Douarnenez for part 2 of the fun.

If you like wooden boats, chatting to like minded sailors, enjoy good music, wine and food, then either one of these voyages could be for you.

Brittany Specialist & beyond to Golfe de Morbihan

Further south Brittany beckons with the fabled port of St Malo and the Granite Rose coast to the west. Anchor amongst the Ile de Brehat in Brittany or sail up to Treguier and enjoy its Medieval Square and Cathedral. There are many small harbours with waterside restaurants in Brittany and will give you a chance to stretch your legs along beautiful beaches.

 "The cruise was a constant delight. I was instantly made to feel welcome and felt at ease." Robert Chester
