The temperatures are getting milder but there are still a great proportion of sunny days to enjoy! So here are the reasons we love Autumn sailing:
Ideal Conditions
While Summer sailing can be idyllic, it also brings hightened sun exposure and high humidity, which can make longer passages or simply relaxing with family and friends less comfortable. The summer heat, combined with the UV rays, increases the risk of sunstroke, especially when the breeze masks the intensity. Autumn offers a refreshing change as temperatures become milder, allowing you to enjoy bright, sunny days without the intense heat.
Stunning Scenery
Autumn is undeniably one of the most beautiful times to sail, with the vibrant colors of the changing leaves and the golden, auburn hues transforming the landscape. Even the most familiar sailing routes take on a new and breathtaking appearance. The autumnal scenery creates a picturesque backdrop, making this season a stunning time to be on the water.
Quieter Waters
Autumn ushers in quieter waters and more peaceful marinas. With seasonal sailors heading home, children back at school, and the summer holidays over, this is the perfect time to savor the tranquility both on the water and ashore. Coastal villages and local eateries also become much calmer, giving you the chance to explore at a more relaxed pace.
The Perfect Time to Upgrade Your Sailing Gear
As the seasons shift from summer to autumn, you may find your sailing wardrobe lacking a few essentials for the cooler months. Autumn is the ideal time to invest in durable outdoor clothing to make your boating trips more comfortable. Even better, you can try before you buy! We offer a full loan of wet weather gear, allowing you to find what fits and functions best for you before making a purchase.
