- Description
- A sail across from Salcombe to Roscoff in Brittany on David K's trimaran Triskelle. We had been planning to leave to 4am but at 3am Prawle Point NCI were recording F7 winds. We waited an hour and the winds started to drop as forecast so we set off at 5am. We were double reefed to start with with F5 / F6 winds for a while. They soon came down to the forecast F4 / F5 and we had a splendid beam reach. About two thirds the way across the wind dropped to about F3 / F4 (again as forecast). So, all in all, a good fast sail across and we made Roscoff about 2 hours ahead of planned. Many of the accompanying photos are of Roscoff and taken the next day.
