Adventure Summary

Join us for a very special long Traditional Taster Weekend, as the Amelie Rose sets out for a four day cruise around the waters where she was born. This is a rare opportunity to step aboard for a shorter cruise in our favourite part of the mainland uk coastline.

From the Lizard in the West to Plymouth in the East this is a stunning section of coast – packed with pretty harbours and stunning anchorages and the longer weekend format will give you the chance to get a real taste of both the area and sailing the Amelie Rose.

Itinerary

You’ll be joining us in Falmouth on the Thursday night. We normally meet up to enjoy a meal at the Chain Locker & Shipwrights – a bit of a local institution and known to Team Topsail as “The Falmouth Office”.

With food and introductions complete we’ll move to the boat where you’ll find yourself a bunk, stow your gear and have a look around. Before we head to our beds we’ll have a chat about plans for the following day and the weekend ahead.

With breakfast out of the way on the following morning we’ll be away early, following the wind and tide to seek out the best that the area has to offer. Our destinations will depend on the wind and tides but may include; Fowey, Mevagissy, a night up the Fal river, and any of a number of quieter anchorages.

On the final night we’ll probably head to the Helford River (where Amelie Rose was built) which will give us a short run back to Falmouth on the final morning allowing you plenty of time to work your way out of Cornwall!
