Appledore Sails, the local Sailing club in Bideford, is thrilled to invite you to our upcoming event. Get ready to set sail on 'Jez-y-belle', our magnificent locally made traditional two masted 15-foot Appledore Ford's lugger.
With a qualified skipper at the helm, we offer couples, families, or small groups of friends the chance to embark on two to three-hour trips around the stunning Torridge Taw Estuary. You'll have the option to sail away under the power of the wind or cruise at your own pace with our trusty motor, depending on your preference or the weather conditions.
Our sailing trips start and finish right at the heart of the enchanting Appledore Quay, perfectly timed to coincide with high tide. Immerse yourself in the beauty of a summer morning, afternoon, or evening as you explore the estuary and soak in the breathtaking sights. From the charming Bideford Quay and alluring Instow to the iconic Crowe Point and delightful Fremington Quay, you'll discover the hidden gems of the estuary at your leisure.
And that's not all! If you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of the impressive state-of-the-art Tamar class lifeboat in Appledore as it tirelessly guards the local waters.
At Appledore Sails, we understand that everyone has different preferences when it comes to sailing. Some seek a relaxing and serene experience, while others crave an exhilarating adventure on the open water. Whatever your desire may be, rest assured that we can cater to your needs and ensure an unforgettable sailing experience.
