Information for mariners

Safe sailing during operations

Galloper Wind Farm has been operational since 2018 and since then yachts and other recreational vessels are free to sail through the wind farm site.

We recommend that boat owners check with the Royal Yachting Association or relevant marine body for recommendations related to safe passage through offshore wind farms.

Galloper’s position is that maintaining approximately 100 metres between vessels and the wind farm structures – turbines and offshore substation platform – would demonstrate good seamanship. As a precaution, it is recommended that sailing vessels should have their engines turned on and in neutral whilst transiting through the wind farm to enable rapid control if it is required.
