[Ep 14] Sailing to the Isle of Gigha [Part 2] single handed, around the Mull of Kintyre, Scotland.

Second of two parts, single handed sailing from Largs Yacht Haven to the Isle of Gigha, Inner Hebrides, West Coast of Scotland.
In this episode we sail from Campbeltown, past Sanda Island, and around the Mull of Kintyre to the Isle of Gigha.
I have been wanting to get out of the Clyde and around the Mull of Kintyre, to the Isle of Gigha for some time and finally got some great conditions for the trip.
Thanks for watching 😊
Sula is a Hanse 385 [2013]

Have been going through your vids, thanks for posting…My boy stays in Largs and I’ve been to the Marina a couple of times.toying with the idea that I might want to give sailing a try but have zero experience. Thanks again for posting… I look forward to seeing what you get upto this year🙏

[@SailingSula]

thanks for the comment and hope you give it a go! Murray

Great job with the filming. I really enjoy watching your single handing of Sula. I sail out of Largs also, mostly singlehanded. Would enjoy meeting up sometime and maybe sailing tandem at some point.

[@SailingSula]

thanks Edward, see you in the marina. 👍

[@BOOMERANGSAILING]

Nice video again. I remain impressed with your singlehanded docking ability. Great work. Keep it up.

[@SailingSula]

cheers and thanks for watching.

Beautifully filmed, and so peaceful.

[@SailingSula]

thanks Sean, much appreciated 😊

[@tonymurphy8135]

Thank you for putting the effort in, it really shows in the filming. Look forward to seeing you on the water, I’ve moved my yacht up to Troon and will catch up with you and pick your brains on the area, dinner and a pint at Scott’s my treat.

[@SailingSula]

Sounds good Tony, thanks for watching 😊

[@johnwhite626]

[@SailingSula]

cheers John 👍

[@stevenhaldane5910]

Thank you for sharing and loved the video, Really great production and cinematography may I say demonstrates wonderfully how beautiful sailing Scotland actually is
Brought back great memories for me from 27 years ago when I made that exact same trip with the only difference we stopped at Sanda and celebrated my 30th birthday by the time we got to Gigha
I dream of doing this route again

[@SailingSula]

Thanks Steven and I do hope you get back round to Gigha, such a beautiful sail.

[@SHAMUS991]

Missed your videos... we are heading to Rhu from Chichester at the end of March. I hope to see you on the Clyde this year.

[@SailingSula]

Thanks Sean, looking forward to this season and hope to see you out there 😊

[@twotubefamily9323]

Just enjoying your laid back approach to sailing , enjoy your channel and thanks

[@SailingSula]

Thanks 👍

[@justinsheil1081]

Yet another great video and thank you Murray. You really have your boat set-up tremendously well for solo sailing. looks like you are running a single-line reefing system? I might be wrong, but if you are, do you find this advantageous for singled handed as opposed to the traditional slab system? Wanting to learn. You have also proved a point....who needs an engine on the tender!! Hahaha.
All the best
Justin

[@SailingSula]

thanks Justin, Sula is set up with a slab system at present that works well for me. 😊

[@kenbudd6216]

Thanks for making the films

[@SailingSula]

Thanks for watching Ken 👍

[@sailingvolo3218]

Another nice video.
Gigha is a favourite although a lot busier anytime Ive stopped.
Sanda is a nice island too ...... maybe for your next trip.

[@SailingSula]

thanks and yes, I would love to go and explore Sanda soon.. 👍

[@sligeach]

The topping lift should be tight while hoisting the main and slackened off when hauling in the mainsheet!!!
Was in gigha again this season on way back to the Clyde after a single handed as far north as pierowall on westray Orkney. Lovely video and drone footage.👍

[@SailingSula]

thanks for watching and thanks for the comment 👍

[@svlamancha9877]

Great video👍

[@SailingSula]

cheers 😊

[@svgabrielle3790]

Very nicely put together, Murray. Fab boat in fab locations. Like the "SOS SOS MAYDAY MAYDAY" in morse code during your opening scenes ... let's hope you never have to actually broadcast that!

[@SailingSula]

thanks 😊and I hadn't actually noticed the morse code as it was part of the music, but I noticed it now 👍

[@bigjoebob]

Its not lumpy if you go tight inside

[@SailingSula]

good to know, thanks for watching 👍
