Voyage Description

 

Sail Amongst the Falmouth Oyster Boats

If you come sailing on our gaff rigged cutter 'Eve of St Mawes' between 1st October and 31st March you will sail between the photogenic winter oyster boat fleet as they dredge for Oysters under sail or oar. To keep the ancient fishery sustainable, the fishing boats are not allowed to use engines so you can witness one of the last commerical fishing fleets that still work under sail on the shallow banks of Carrick Roads.

Both of Eve's skippers Adam and Debbie have dredged oysters with their gaff cutter Bluebell so we can tell you how they do it.

Cornwall Escapes - 3 Day Breaks in Winter

We paint our pilot cutter Eve of St Mawes dazzling blue to match the Cornish seascape. Artists have been drawn to the sea, rugged coastline and the famous light quality in the far west for centuries. Eves turquoise blue decks and hull seems to help get everybody in the holiday mood too. On the edge of the Atlantic Ocean at this time of year we have our share of wild grey days, but they just seem to make the achingly beautiful blue sky / deep blue sea days extra special.

 Founders of Classic Sailing Adam and Debbie based the company in St Mawes because we felt Cornwall and the Scillies was the best cruising ground in the world. We now promote sailing holidays in many far flung destinations but a flat water blast along the South Cornwall coast in a crystal clear north westerly takes some beating.

Western Approaches - a historic cruising ground

Stretching between Brittany and the Scillies, and covering the anchorage’s and ports of the West Country, we sail the same Western Approaches as the original pilot cutters would have to patrolled in search of the next sailing ship to put their pilot aboard.

 The Breton, Scillionian, and Cornish that fringe the Atlantic hang fiercely onto their seafaring traditions—celebrating their history with gig boat racing, traditional wooden boatbuilding and maritime festivals. In eleven years of operating Eve we still receive warm welcomes from local people wherever we go. I think it is because we fit so well into their timeless landscapes.  Gain the admiration of the local fishermen In winter by being out there with them on the b'ig sea' when most the local yachts are tucked away in boatyards ashore.

Blocks and Tackles keep you warm

Beginners & experienced Sailors are welcome on all our 3 day voyages.Over the last 12 years, on Eve alone we have introduced at least two thousand newcomers to sailing.

Eve makes a great boat to start sailing on. She has wide decks with plenty of room. She is a fine sea boat with a well proven safety record and kept to the highest standards. We are also a recognised RYA Training Establishment so if you want to do a 6 day beginners course then look at our RYA Competent Crew Course on Eve of St Mawes for a more intensive and structured introduction to practical seamanship.

Blocks and Tackles keep you warm and fit

Traditional Sailing boats like Eve are powered by the wind, but to harness it requires quite a bit of satisfying physical effort and teamwork. There are no winches on board except the antique brass handled windlass, so you soon get to know your fellow guests as you haul on blocks and tackles. Sometimes we glide effortlessly through the water with 14 tons of oak and larch propelled by the wind or tide. If the forecast is wrong it can be more of a struggle. After the tenth tacking manoeuvre into the teeth of a freshening gale you might begin to wish you had been to the gym more often. Its unlikely you’ll go home thinner (e.g. creme brulee, clotted cream, Lamb with camenbert, rosemary, flageolet bean and red wine) but we can guarentee you will leave looking a lot healthier and either sun tanned, or windswept and interesting. There is plenty of conversation, but even on a 38ft deck you can find a corner for quiet contemplation. For some strange reason, everyone seems to sleep very well on board cocooned safely amongst Eve’s timber curves.

Unspoilt Sailing Ground

From Eve’s mooring in St Mawes we can explore Falmouth Bay, one of the largest natural harbours in the world. Much of the Coastline is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, AONB, and there is no better way of appreciating than from the deck of beautiful sailing boat.

See the intinerary tab above for more our our favourite haunts, a typical itinerary and more details on where we might sail.

Wildlife at Sea & Ashore

The remoteness of the Cornish coast this far west bring their own special reward to those who travel with us: Starry nights with no street lights; ocean sunsets, isolated lighthouses and tiny fishing harbours; cliffs sculptured by pounding winter gales; almost tropical white sands with sparkling mica sticking to your toes; woodlands stunted by the wind but with trees adorned with lichen (a sure sign of unpolluted air) and lush ferns and springs along the many coastal footpaths.

The Gulf Stream provides unexpected sightings of turtles, sunfish and more regular visits by dolphins (common, bottlenose and risso’s dolphin), porpoises, whales and giant basking sharks. Gales often bring in wheeling gannets, tiny storm petrels, guillemots, razorbills and even puffins.

The Fal and Helford Estuaries are designated as Special Areas of Marine Interest. Breeding seals hide in sea caves and deep zawns. The drowned river valleys (called rias) have dense oak woodlands with branches sweeping down to deep green waters. At low tide the mudflats are home to egrets, curlews, oystercatchers and leggy herons—all the birds that go screech. At night you hear owls hooting in the moonlight, and a few guests have seen elusive otters in the early morning mists.

We record all wildlife sightings in the ships log and occasionally run specialist wildlife voyages or marine conservation breaks on Eve., but you only need to keep your eyes peeled on any voyage to see the best wildlife moments. Our Skippers have learned much from wildlife experts we have invited on board. Both Debbie and Adam are acredited (Wise) wildlife safe operators and we encourage all new skippers to develop their wildlife expertise.


 

 

 

Join at 3pm on St Mawes Quay.

All itineraries are subject to the weather and the skippers decision.

Day One

Option one
Meet on St Mawes Quay where all the ferries from Falmouth arrive. If the tide is in Eve will be tucked in the corner of the Quay just in front of the Ferry Steps. If the tide is out you will row our pilot cutter tender No 8 out ot Eve.
Option Two
If the weather is strong in the Spring and Autumn we may join at Smugglers Cottage Tolverne.
We will notify voyage crew as appropriate.

Getting Started
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 Eve and get to somewhere not in St Mawes for the first night onboard. It will not be far away and the idea is for it to be sheltered and scenic and in time for a freshly cooked supper. The area is bounded by the Fal and Helford Estuaries.

Day Two
Leaving the Fal or Helford area Eve we have time to sail the 24 miles to Fowey but this is less likely in the Spring and Autumn. On the other hand there are lots of places to go in the Fal and Helford Estuaries and there are not many boats about when its not high season. Remember it all depends on the wind direction, tides, the ability of the crew and the decision of the skipper.

In the Fal we can go to Mylor, Restronguet, St Just, Penryn, Falmouth, St Mawes, Malpas, Tolverne, Trelissick and Percuil. We can sail in the Carrick Roads and out to Sea to Portscatho Bay and Gull Rock or down to Coverack beyond the Manacles.

The Helford has Frenchman’s Creek, the Helford villages, Gweek Quay and Seal Sanctuary.

Day Three
We will continue with our exploration of the local waters and tying to get to the places we missed yesterday. On our last day we will try to find a nice hostelry for an evening visit after a hearty supper. After all it is the last night.

Day Four
On the last morning we make sure you are well fed before putting you ashore in St Mawes or Tolverne by 10am.

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.

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.

Eve of St Mawes was launched new in 1997

Eve of St Mawes lots of information pdf

Eve owes her heritage to the pilot Cutters of the Isles of Scilly. Rugged and versatile craft built to withstand the rigours of the Western Approaches in comfort and safety; these little ships were fast, weatherly and immensely strong.

Built in 1996 by Luke Powell, many people mistake Eve for an old boat; such is the sense of history within her solid new timbers. Constructed entirely traditionally from the best materials available, Eve was built to last. She has been admired, photographed and written about countless times. 

" Nobody would have guessed this as a brand new vessel. The feeling of history inherent in theses vessels was present in Eve" Classic Boat Magazine article on Eve of St Mawes 1997  

 

Voyage Style

A hard working and plucky ship earning her keep, Eve offers block and tackle sailing on an intimate scale. On deck you have a boat only 38’ long that beginners can throw around easily for RYA teaching, but the beauty of a bowsprit is that she can also spread her wings.

Under full canvas from overhanging boom to bowsprit cap she becomes a 51’ cutter – able to set 5 sails, keep experienced sailors very busy and create quite a spectacle around the small ports and harbours of Cornwall, Brittany and the Scillies.

Eve is large enough to accommodate 6 in comfort and carry enough resources to sail independently of marinas, yet small enough to do some serious creek crawling. She fits perfectly into the secluded anchorages and out of the way corners of her playground.

Leaving only the sparkling wake behind her makes you realise the full potential of traditional boats like Eve of St Mawes and the ethical forces behind them. 

"Eve is a beautiful boat, outside and in, and the all wood construction adds a charm distinctly lacking in most modern boats - real character " - Rob. 

 

Whole Boat Prices
