Sail the Wash is dedicated to enabling the small craft sailor to explore England’s biggest embayment and its adjacent coastline. From Gibraltar Point in the west to Morston, Blakeney and Cley in the east, this last wilderness is one of the outstanding coastal wetlands in Britain, if not Europe.
If you’re tired of marina hopping, this unspoilt region could be just the alternative you seek. Rich in marine wildlife, the saltmarshes are one of Britain’s most important feeding grounds for wading birds. It’s also home to the largest UK colony of common seals.
Now with the benefit of modern, all afloat mooring facilities plus the charm of its well established drying harbours, this cruising ground is a must for all who sail. Explore the rich variety of our ports and anchorages, and everything they can lead to.
