Huff under Mount EdgecombeSailing on Huff of Arklow is a unique experience; a vintage fast cruising yacht so well designed she virtually sails herself. Her cut-away after deck makes her very exhilarating on the wind and is a wonderful lounging area when sailing more upright.We are very fortunate to have such an outstanding choice of sailing on our doorstep, the sheltered waters of the Hamoaeze leading to the Lhyner and the Tamar.

These rivers are navigable for many miles inland. Heading South through the Narrows to the wide expanse of Plymouth Sound is a large area of sea partially protected by the breakwater. Once past the breakwater we are into the open sea proper. We can either head west into Cornwall, towards Fowey, Megavissey or Falmouth, or East into Devon, towards Salcombe, Dartmouth or Torbay.

On most courses you will be met by the skipper at the Mayflower Marina who will introduce you to Huff and give you an initial safety brief. You will then go for a short sail before going to her mooring at Cremyll. Your skipper will then complete the safety brief including an element of planning, outlining the weather pattern for your time on board and your probable programme. Cremyll is one of the many opportunities you will get during your time on board for a run ashore and a visit to a good pub or restaurant – in this case the Edgecumbe Arms.
