Join us for an epic boating adventure in Torquay as we launch Sea Weavers — our Quicksilver Activ 555 Cabin — for the Southwest Sports Boat Rally 2026 on the stunning english riviera!
From a 4AM start and launching at Torquay's Beacon Quay Slipway, to rafting up 10 boats on a SINGLE anchor at Elbury Cove, spotting dolphins and seals off berry head and Brixham Harbour, to being swallowed by a thick sea mist — this is boat life uk at its best in south devon and torbay.
Despite losing most of Sonia's footage to a hard drive failure, we rebuilt Part 1 from bow-cam footage to bring you the full rally atmosphere — launching, mooring at Torquay Marina Vista Pontoons, and exploring Roundham Head, Saltern Cove & Broad Sands.
Perfect if you love boat life, boating in the UK, Torquay and south devon travel, and real-world sports boat handling.
NEXT: Part 2 — Captain's Call & the big River Dart run + Coronation Park picnic!
