Welcome to East Coast Sailing.
This channel focuses on sailing adventures in England and Europe. I have been sailing for 9 years on a 22 Foot Newbridge Venture. I rebuilt the boat from the bottom up and taught my self how to sail. My confidence in the boat grew as well as my ability which lead me to completing multiple Channel crossings to France & Belgium. I now have a small family and it was either time to give up sailing or get a bigger boat. I chose a bigger boat đ«ĄđI have recently complete a 600NM trip to the Channel Islands & documented the journey.
My videos contain a valuable incite of the realities of boat ownership, running costs, savings, installation, maintenance, navigation & safety advice.

Sailing Turbulent Overfalls - Swinge to Sark via St Peters Port
Welcome to East Coast Sailing. I finally achieved my dream of sailing to the Channel Islands after 2 previous failed attempts due to poor weather. I made it into Alderney, sailing into Bray Harbour. After spending 4 days on the island, I uncovered its many hidden gems, making friends with other YouTubing sailors, it was time to move on to discover Guernsey & Sark. I had to face my dreaded nemesis which was the turbulent waters of the Swinge. The Swinge is a narrow channel that produces steep overfalls when fast moving tides pass over the mountainous terrain of the seabed. This stretch of water is notorious and is a right of passage for many sailors, however it needs to be treated with the upmost respect. These sailing grounds have claimed many lives and vessels. After having a fairly comfortable passage through the Swinge I sailed through the big waves rolling in from the Atlantic. I have never seen waves this big where my boat sank between the troughs where I lost view of the horizon. I finally landed in Guernsey. I spent 1 night in St Peters Port in Victoria Marina where Spirit Yachts were having a sales expo. I admired the craftsmanship of the wooden yachts as my berth was opposite the pontoon. After a very relaxing stay in the protection of the harbour, I set sail the next day to explore Sark. After anchoring on one of the buoys in the bay of Havre Gosselin. I kayaked to the shore and climbed up the rocky cliff into someoneâs back garden and finally made it onto the main road. Being on Sark was like stepping back 200 years. No cars, just bikes, horses and walking. I finally made it to La Coupee, walking over the narrow walkway framed perfectly with the crystal blue waters of the English Channel & steep meandering cliffs, before finally heading back to Alderney before making the long voyage home over the English Channel. If you have any questions, donât hesitate to ask.

Nice one, Alderney is one of my fave places to sail as well as the rest of the Channel Islands. Iâm sure you know this but if you approach the mooring buoy from the same way as the other moored boats are facing you can creep up on it and be less likely to fall off as you go forward to pick up the buoy. Andy UK
Hi Andy, good observation and great advise. I think i was still in shock of finally getting there. Thank you for watching đ
I've just found your channel - very enjoyable. We've sailed to the Channel Islands many times and your videos brought back great memories. Glad you didn't have any fog which is the main bugbear of the CIs. As you say, avoid Alderney in strong NE winds. I was once there in a NE storm 10 which was horrifying but Alderney remains one of our favourites.
Thank you, I only had fog when i was in Gosport heading home, it burnt off by early morning. The swells in that harbour were incredible. I was drinking 6 cups of expresso at night keeping watch lol. On one night i was thrown off the pontoon which shook so violently by the swells and landed in a tender.đ€Ł Theres me thinking i'm hardcore at anchor in those conditions and 2 race boats came in during the height of the storm and at night. Yes i cant wait to return.
Well done fun video and thanks. I enjoyed Alderney 2022 and Jersey 2023 in Manyana a 31 ft Westerly with Dr M Boyd, we had a good time too. Ian

Just got into your channel. Enjoyed your Video on Alderney where I now live and work part time as water taxi driver. I also met with the OYZ boys-fun lads. Glad you enjoyed Sark - one of our favourites having sailed there many times from Guernsey-our home island. I understand your impression of St Peter Port (locals would never refer to it as St Peterâs Port). If you come back this way try Beaucette marina in Guernsey. Much more peaceful. Friendly staff, nice beaches and walks. Cheersđ

Hoping to win a hat! Was just in Tollesbury the other day and looking at your boat!
@@MikeAndCarolineKolling Amazing, what were you doing in Tollesbury? đđŒđ
Hi, we had a very enjoyable week bumbling around Blackwater, brightlingsea, tollesbury and bradwell. Wanted heybridge but 8day wait to get in so gave up. We were in C4 in Tollesbury, lots of depth due to dredging and lovely seafood platter in club.
@@MikeAndCarolineKolling yes the club house is great but the loft tea room is also my favourite when itâs open. Whereâs your home port them? You must be local going to all those places. We were meant to go to Brightlingsea on Saturday but the winds were mad 37knots.

Promise its not always that bad in the harbour. Early season we didnt have the best of weather. Hopefully see you again next year and youll have a settled few days. No better place to be.
@@jasperosborne827 Hi Jasper, I love Alderney and canât wait to come back, especially with the family so they can experience the Island and the beautiful beaches. So much to see and everyone made us feel very welcome. I genuinely looked on rightmove when I got back đ as I would love to live there 1 day. I also only did 1 day in St Peterâs port and came back to Alderney after being ignored when saying hello in the marina. The island had a great community spirit & the harbour didnât put me off at all. With all things that require a lot of effort to get to they are always worth it. I think I did about 8 nights in total but was really unlucky with the weather. Thanks for watching đđŒđ
â@@EastCoastSailing_Hi Rob totally agree, such an amazing place to live with a young family, As you can imagine it does get very busy during the summer with Alderney week during the first week of August. Going back to the Video. With the mooring layout. There are Visitors buoys to the east of the bay. Gives you a bit more shelter from the Easterly winds. If you do come when it's busy, we'll find you somewhere to go even if it's on a local Buoy so call us in the harbour office đ.

@@alecmartin2661 Hi Alec, what boat do you have and what pontoon is it berthed on. I couldnât believe my eyes yesterday. Seemed like an ultra low tide. The back pontoon near the entrance was completely silted up. A really good check to make sure your in the deepest section of a channel is using google maps with satellite imagery on. Look forward to meeting you when the tides and weather are better đ

Brilliant video Rob! Really great overview of Alderney.
@@kate37w Glad you liked it. Hopefully get the voyage through the Swinge out tomorrow including St Peterâs Port and Sark đđŒ
I've been there, off Yantlet when a huge wave off a big ship comes towards the shore and you can only turn into face it, hang on and then pick up the pieces afterwards. They're quite something when it's just you and your little boat and the water. Mine was a 24ft Achilles, much more seaworthy than I was at the time. We survived.
@@davidalexander-watts6630 Hi David, I was fascinated at the time. I had no experience and It was my 1st big crossing. I couldnât believe my eyes when I saw the wave coming towards me when it was flat calm đ
Yep, popped the soldier connection right off first time I fiddled with it! Ha. Easy fix thanks to this helpful tutorial. Thanks.
@@jimringo2569 My pleasure Jim, glad it helped. Itâs not a great design if you ask me đ
The camera was perfectly placed. I wonder if the boat could have been hove-to? At least that is what I would have tested first since it is so quick. The squalls are short-lived, then you could calmly investigate the situation. Cheers.
@@Cptnbond Hi, the estuary is very narrow and shallow. Thereâs half a mile width of sea room. Also our mooring dries out and can only get out and back in within 3 hours. No chance I was staying out after that đ«Ą take a look at the follow up video of what caused the issue. And thanks for watching đ
We live on Jersey, another Channel Island & regularly head up to Alderney for a few days, we reckon itâs fifty miles & fifty years awayâŠ..itâs literally like stepping back in time in the most awesome wayâŠ..
@@conyermud1 your very lucky to have all this on your door step. I didnât go to Jersey, itâs the only place I didnât visit but Iâll be coming back next year for sure. đđŒ you might be bias but is Jersey better than Guernsey? I left St Peterâs port after a day. I found it really unfriendly which put me off going to Jersey đŻđȘ
đ Looks like they don't want their guests to get to comfortable with those guest moorings. Hard to get 100% protection in a exposed island like that. Anyway, just a comment for the algorithm. Thanks for sharing your journey.đ
@@noldushumlesnurr6169 There was no chance of getting comfortable in that anchorage. The Germans should have built a longer wall đđ well worth the sleepless nights. I was also called as my boat was dragging the mooring lines. I never moved so quick đ
Cheers Rob - another great video. very very informative re Alderny. In fact I can't think of another sailing channel that packed so much info into a video about the place.
@@ianqv Hi Ian, glad you enjoyed it. Thereâs probably a bit too much information. I was lucky enough to be shown around the island by people who were there for a while. Sailors are very meticulous and Iâm sure they would like to arrive somewhere and know everything there is to see and do thatâs not widely publicised! Hope your sailing â”ïž seasons going well.

@@marcusnorfolk7944 Hi Marcus, pretty close to getting monetised, just hit the 4000 viewing hours, just need another 150 subs to get advertising revenue. Itâs cost me a fair bit to run the channel with software and music licence. Should be monetised at the end of the month. Channels started to get some traction and the views and subs are growing much faster. You will never be rich doing this. 1000 views is ÂŁ4-8 if you count the filming, editing and graphics it takes 2 days for 10 mins. Just hoping it will help people as no one ever helped me when sailing. Learnt it all on my own and thereâs a lot of learning. Any help promoting is appreciated. And your boat sounds great. Easily handled on your own, just watch the off shore winds when starting out, you donât want to end up in Holland đłđ± some really good sailing grounds on the black water and lots of Marinas to nip into.
@@EastCoastSailing_ quick question. Do you have a matching Facebook. Instagram and tic tok in your name? I am away at the moment but back tomorrow so can advise further. But at this stage.

Hello mate, unfortunately Iâm back home. I did about 8 days on the Channel Islands from the 12th of June. I was hoping to edit as I went along for this reason of being able to meet people who were there but the WiFi was hopeless at the marinas and I wanted to enjoy the trip rather than sitting in editing. Next time Iâll get my insta sorted for quick updates. I wish I was still there though. I only had 2 weeks to do this trip before linking up with the family in the Isle of Wight. Whereâs your home port? And whatâs your favourite island out of the Channel Islands ?
@@EastCoastSailing_ Ah never mind, next time! My inlaws are all based in Southend so I've considered sailing up that way a few times. I'm in the QE2 Marina in St. Peter Port. I like Sark. It's just so different from everywhere else (it was still a feudal system up until a few years ago!). I know what you're saying about editing on the go. I'm going on a trip down to France soon and I'm wondering whether to edit in real time or not.
@thesailingdonkey enjoy your trip, editing can wait till winter. I stayed in Victoria marina. Found Guernsey really noisy after island life on Alderney and no where near as friendly. Said hello and was ignored đđ left after a day
this confuses me how you know the right way in to that harbour it just looked like it mined full of different colour bouys?
Hello, I wouldnât get too caught up in pilotage and sticking to buoys. All the orange buoys are residents swinging moorings which I tried to land on originally and realisedâŠ. I knew bad weather was coming and they had a bit more protection đ€Ł. Yellow buoys are the visitors moorings ÂŁ25 a night. The water is very deep all over the harbour thereâs only a few hazards in the harbour. Iâm actually producing the âsailors guide to Alderneyâ and Iâll explain everything including the pilotage, navigation as well as things to do while your there. Iâll cover your question in vid but anything else you would like to see just let me know. The only area is the harbour entrance you need to be careful. Lots of shallow ground and turbulent over falls on the right as you approach near the knuckle wall. You have to stick closer to the rocks on the left which feels uncomfortable watching breaking water lap over jagged rocks. The harbour is massive and they only have a couple of big ships delivering food & produce a week. The rest of the traffic is pleasure crafts. Everyone has a duty to avoid a collision, being slow, sensible and keeping a good look out in the harbour will keep you safe. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Another fab video Rob. We've also beel planning the channel islands for a couple of years, but sadly the weather has had other plans!! Are you back Tollesbury now?
@@ianqv Hi Ian. Yes been back for a month now. Just takes a while editing. This yearâs weather has been wild. My best advice to you, if you can only take a few weeks off on holiday, you just have to hammer it and go even on the days the forecast is showing 25 knots. Itâs not comfortable or pleasant but well worth it when you get there. The only day. I would choose wisely is the crossing day. I had a 28 knot tail wind on the way back after flat calm and it wasnât nice being in it for 5 hours. Really kicked up by the needles when the tide turned. Just carry loads of spares, there were loads of boats in Alderney with engine issues, about 4-5.
Been there, nice sailing. Little less talking/yeppinâ would be nice.
Bishops finger and olives đ€ that sounds interesting, I'll have to give it a try. Great video I love seeing this kind of content.
@@Kordafish thank-you. Glad you enjoyed the vid. Maybe the beer and olives donât go together but there are no rules to follow on the sea. Thanks for watching đ« đ«Ą
