Sailing the River Tamar

I found some useful sites about sailing my local River Tamar. I've posted about the Tamar before and you can access these posts from the web addresses at the end of this post.

This one takes you to a great little PDF leaflet about exploring the Tamar Valley.

Is a very useful document published by the RYA, a detailed cruising guide.


This site is the excellent 'visitmyharbour'. You can subscribe to it but much is also free. 
A fab starting point for planning any UK voyages.

An excellent pilotage guide by the weir quay sailing club is found at

John Perry, who lives in Plymouth and is a member of the adventurous and highly 
knowledgeable and skilled 'Dinghy Cruising Association' posted a very good club report at

Anyway hope these sites are useful and provide an impetus to come explore Arwen's patch
