A Swan 47 named Saga completes a 250-nautical-mile shakedown sail from Whitehaven to Oban in 2024, covering the Irish Sea and Scottish Isles over roughly nine days.Watch Paul, identified as an Yachtmaster, skippers the Belfast Harbour to Port Ellen passage on day four, selecting the correct sail configuration as wind builds in the North Channel.0:57 Port Ellen on Islay offers a quiet marina and distilleries as a stopover.1:21 Kenneth gains his first experience planning and executing a passage in UK tidal waters.1:43 Day seven brings a sail from Port Ellen via the Sound of Jura to an anchorage at Craobh Haven.1:52 Day eight includes a shore excursion to the Bridge over the Atlantic on Seil Island, followed by an afternoon sail to Loch Spelve, whose entrance is flagged as tricky.3:03 The windlass fails overnight, forcing the crew to weigh anchor manually at sunrise on day nine.3:28 Departure from Loch Spelve is timed to catch slack tide at the narrow exit, and the boat reaches Oban's transit marina after several tacks through the Firth of Lorn.3:36 Timing tidal gates and maintaining crew strength for manual anchor recovery prove critical on this coastal passage.
