Falmouth, Cornwall | The West Country of England is a sailor’s dream. Small, picturesque and historic ports and harbours pepper the coast, many with deep water berths, long navigable rivers and excellent pubs. Falmouth in Cornwall is one of our favourites, where we stopped off for a few days to visit a good friend. This was one of the major ports for Britain’s shipping trade from the 18th to the early 20thCentury, with ships from all around the world anchoring in the harbour to await instructions from their agents as to which port in the British Isles had the best market at that moment. It was also a major fishing port, especially for Pilchards. As a consequence, the town has a rich maritime heritage which lives on to this day, with serious racing for the fine historic Falmouth work boats (with their distinctive coloured tops’ls) and six sailing clubs throughout the Falmouth Estuary. It is also a popular cruise ship destination. The National Maritime Museum in Falmouth is a gem, with exhibits ranging from the first Mirror Dinghy, to a workshop demonstrating traditional boatbuilding and a 1.68m long ‘boat’ called Fathers’ Day that crossed the Atlantic in 1993! There was even a surf exhibition when we visited, as this part of the UK has a strong surf culture, borne of the Atlantic rollers and swell that land on the exposed Cornish and Devon coasts. The shanty-style music that accompanies this video is called ‘The Wellerman’ and has its origins in the whaling industry in Otago, New Zealand.

Die erste Segeltour mit unserem neuen Boot liegt hinter uns. 🥰⛵🙌🏼 Wir waren zwar insgesamt nur 9 Tage unterwegs, konnten in der Zeit aber doch schon so einige Orte hier in der Nähe sehen und vor allem Haehaa richtig kennenlernen. Von perfekten Gennaker-Bedingungen zu Gegenan-Kreuzen. 💨⛵ Von ruhigen Buchten vor wunderschön bergigen Kulissen zu unfassbar schwelligen Ankerbuchten.🏞️🌊 Von malerischen kleinen Dörfern zu Touriströmen und Superyachten.🏡⛴️ Von Tagen, die sich angefühlt haben wie Sommer zu Regen und Gewitter.☀️⛈️ Irgendwie hatten diese 9 Tage von allem etwas und ganz ehrlich? Alles andere hätte uns auch fast schon gewundert. Denn das Leben an Bord wird einfach immer wieder von genau diesen Kontrasten bestimmt. Kann manchmal ganz schön anstrengend sein, man nimmt aber die ganzen positiven Aspekte dadurch auch einfach nochmal viel intensiver wahr. ✨ Wir haben auf jeden Fall gemerkt, wie sehr wir dieses Boot jetzt schon lieben und freuen uns schon sehr auf alles, was wir noch gemeinsam erleben werden. ❤️ #liveaboardlife#newboat#wharramcatamaran#pahi42#segelreise#langfahrt#liveaboards#travelcouple#greece#sail#setsail#boatlife

► A not-to-be-missed event for boating enthusiasts on the U.S. East Coast, the Annapolis Boat Shows attract some 100,000 visitors every year. The event is in fact two separate boat shows held in the same spot, but a week apart. The Powerboat Show, dedicated just to powerboats (417 units on display), was held from October 3 to 6, followed by the Sailboat Show from October 10 to 14. It’s the latter of the two that we’ve selected for you. The event provided an opportunity to take stock of how the multihull sector is taking hold in the United States: we counted 56 two- or three-hull units compared with 96 monohulls, totaling nearly 30% of the offer. Although some exhibitors’ delivery trips to the show were hampered by the hurricanes further south, the Current 46, the Leopard 46 and the Xquisite Sixty Solar Sail all made their world premiere. ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!
