At low tide there are extensive mudflats, which are important feeding areas for estuarine birds. The wider estuary is designated as an SSSI and forms part of the South Devon National Landscape.

Masthead Floats or Not? Their purpose is to help Masthead Floats or Not?

Their purpose is to help prevent the boat from turning completely upside down after a capsize by keeping the mast closer to the water’s surface.
They don’t make the mast itself float, but they provide enough buoyancy at the masthead to slow or prevent the mast from sinking.
• Boats can still capsize.
* Boats can be swamped and become unusable until recovered.
* Boats can be severely damaged or break apart in extreme conditions.
* Boat structures can fail or if enough buoyancy is lost, they can sink.

So, it’s a yes from us, especially when teaching beginners ⛵️
