Sailing on Sagitta to Hope Cove May 2026

There is something seriously wrong with the weather. We just had a 3 day holiday weekend - yet it was hot, a light breeze blowing and not a cloud in the sky! So Jetti and I decided to take a gentle cruise in our 30ft Sagitta catamaran to Hope Cove, about 15 miles east of or mooring in Plymouth. We just drifted along, together with a whole variety of different boats. No drama or excitement, so this video just shows the deck layout and some of the interior of our boat. Hope Cove was crowded when we got there so, unusually, we had to anchor in 30ft of water - normally we try for under 10 ft. And very glad we were not on a monohull, they were all rolling rhythmically in the SW swell. Next day we sailed back to Plymouth, a bit more wind so touched 6+ knots at times. Apart from the lack of roll, the other big advantage of a multihull is that we have all round vision when sitting inside (we go "inside" not "down below" on catamarans) Sunday night was spent at one of our favourite anchorages, up the Lynher river, with obligatory BBQ. Then home again on Monday. If only all sailing was like that! As always, no audio on this short video.
