top end F4 W / WSW pushing into bottom end 5 by Sat afternoon.

That may work, its about 20 NM to lundy from Ilfracombe and the next obvious place to go from there is milford. He is then looking at 36NM to Milford entrance. Have done the passage in summer time about two years ago and it was lumpy but fun. If I was in his position as a novice, I would want...

tomorrow looks good for a reach to Swansea provided sea state ok

The challenge he has got this time of year is getting a weather window. Does he have a day job / family to get back to / retired? - can he get to the boat at a moments notice? I had flat millpond conditions on passage from Cardiff to Porthcawl in mid november between the two covid lockdowns so...

Try Gareth Davies. He did some work for me and was excellent. Based out of Cardiff.

I lived aboard my Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 32 over the 2020/2021 winter whilst going through my divorce - I was in my late thirties at the time. This boat had all the mod cons including a shower cubicle. Truth is, living on a boat gets tiring after a while and is not as glamerous as many think...

Go outdoors sell them

I have two kids 6 and 7 and have been using a seago ranger 240 - this is now far to small. Was absolute minimum even when they were 4 and 5 in perfect conditions but very uncomfortable and you can forget trying to row. I would say 2.7 is now minimum preferable 290. The ranger had a slatted...

You should look at a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 32 with lifting centre plate that site between two mini bilge keels and has twin rudders. Excellent upwind perfomance and fast and can dry out on hard sand in the right conditions (or sink into soft mud). They were built in the early noughties. It is...

I'm at CBYC and would recommend it. Also fuel there so you never need to go to Penarth.

The issue is the M5! Boat used to be in Plymouth and it was 2.5 hours from Bristol on a good run. Took us 7 hours to get home at the end of one bank holiday weekend with mutliple pile ups. Though the cruising area is great down there.

So my question is......what possibilities are currently available as a visitor to watchet? What times either side of HW is it actually accessable for a shallow or fin keeled boat? Does anyone on here actually know this? Surely as long as it dries to soft mud, as a visitor, this is all you...

You just need a bit of north in the wind or very light winds......don't go when its heavy! Have done the trip many times inside and outside the nash passage, day and night on my old 22ft Hurley and also my new to me Jeanneau 32ft both based in Cardiff. Regardless of boat my preference is to...

Thanks all, pointless going if I've only got a week then!
