Isles of Scilly Cruise in Company May 2011 Video
Eddie English has been visiting the Isles of Scilly since the same year as he founded SailCork – 1974. Eddie has made dozens of visits to the Isles and has been ashore on at least a dozen of these magical islands. You can share in his wealth of knowledge by joining our cruise in company or come and sail aboard our flagship “Holy Grounder”.
The “Isles of Scilly” cruise in company is open to sailing boats from 8m upwards and motor boats designed for sea crossings.
Enjoy the safety in numbers whilst making a “crossing” and sail to new places, meet new friends and have new experiences whilst under the guidance of Yachtmaster Instructor Eddie English.
Prepare for the voyage with two workshops in advance. These 3hour sessions will be available to all your crewmembers and include Passage Planning and Pilotage and Watch Keeping as well as Boat Preparation and Man Overboard Recovery. The first workshop will be followed by an RNLI “Seacheck” at East Ferry Marina. Eddie will have tips for the voyage – having made this crossing on more than 70 occasions. He will also have advice for your shore leave- you will be guided to the right watering holes, best restaurants and see all the sights!
Fee (including workshops) per boat: €350.
