In Summer 2011 Paul and family spent a couple of weeks cruising the West Country in their Ovni yacht "Little Wing". Determined to make the most of the lift keel and shallow draft, they spent much time gunkholing as far as they could go up each harbour and river, getting to places inaccessible to most 40ft yachts. In Summer 2012 they returned, this time on passage to the Isles of Scilly.
Once again, the design of the Ovni proved ideal for exploring these amazing islands, letting them safely navigate the tricky routes, shallow depths and frequent rocks.
In this talk Paul will discuss how his family planned and executed what is a pipe dream for many South Coast sailors - getting to Scilly and back in a 'normal' holiday from work. Illustrated with numerous pictures, Paul will explain why the West Country and the Isles of Scilly are the jewel in the crown for a South Coast sailor.
