Littlehapton to Brixham UK Sailing Holiday
Ahoy Sailor!
Sorry you missed this sailing holiday.
But you are still in time to book a sailing adventure in 2024
It is too late to book with SchoonerSail, but if you hurry, Classic Sailing's fabulous range of sailing ships and destinations still have availability for 2024.
A Sailing Holiday To Brixham
Sailing Holiday Type
Coastal With Day and Overnight Sailing
This sailing holiday will probably involve standing a night watch. You will be part of a watch system for any overnight passages on this voyage. For more information about what to expect read Offshore Sailing Standing The Night Watch – an account written by one of the crew.
Just a quick thank you for a most enjoyable trip, good company, good food and you even laid on good weather. What more could one ask for? Except perhaps another week of the same.

Sailing From Littlehampton
High water plus or minus 2hr – that’s the tidal gate for leaving Littlehampton and heading west toward the Solent. We’ll aim to leave a little before HW to catch the full ebb down the coast.
Trinovante might spend the second night at anchor somewhere behind the Isle of Wight possibly in Osborne Bay. It all depends on the wind on the day.
The Isle of Wight and The Needles
North of the Isle Of Wight Trinovante will be in the yachting and sailing mecca of the Solent. This is a very busy stretch of water so the crew will need to be on a sharp lookout.
Hopefully we’ll get a good view of the landmark ‘Needles’ as we clear the island. The three white rock stacks of the Needles look like a chalky backbone extending into the sea. They are navigationally marked for mariners by a 19th centuary lighthouse.
It is possible Trinovante will now head into Weymouth or Poole for an overnight stop, and a run ashore for the crew.
The Notorious Portland Race & An Overnight Passage
Feared by mariners the Portland Race is notorious for its strong tidal streams of up to 10 knots, heavy breaking seas and violent overfalls. The Portland Race can extend up to three miles off Portland Bill in calm weather and up to seven miles in bad weather, so tide and wind will be important. Trinovante will head well out from land, to clear the Race before heading west again.
It is likely this will be an overnight night passage as we cross Lyme Bay. You will be part of the watch system and Trinovante will be out of the sight of land.
Voyage End in Brixham
The classic West Country cliff-scape of Berry Head is likely to be the first land we see on the other side. If we arrive early there might be time to visit Dartmouth before we end this voyage in the pretty fishing harbour of Brixham.
All voyage notes refer only to possible itineraries – where we sail, passage lengths and the places we call into will be entirely dependent on the wind and weather at the time.
