Under 30’s Sailing Weekend (Postponed)
This event is aimed at our younger members, given them (you!) the opportunity to get out and about on the Solent on an Oceanis 37. We have had good interest but the timing of the event wasn’t ideal being so close to university exams. As such, we’re looking for alternative dates, and some more crew!
We’re also still after a skipper (at least Day Skipper qualified) and we can keep costs down by filling all eight berths on the boat: final costs work out as £177 each with six crew, £153 for seven or £135 for the full eight. Please let me know now if this event is of interest to you asap, along with some workable dates.
Note: the costs may increase slightly as we get into high-season.
Mid-Week Cruise & Brownsea Theatre (23-27 July)
I’m still hopeful we can get some interest in this event: we are offering a mid-week cruise with Poole as the main destination (but several places on the way there from the Solent and back). The boat will be available from Sunday evening, sailing Monday and returning by Friday lunchtime.
On the Wednesday, the plan is to go to Brownsea Island for one of their open-air theatre events. This year they are performing Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus, directed by Don Cherrett.
Does this sort of event interest you? Would some other entertainment at the destination be of more interest? Perhaps a high-end restaurant or a historic place to explore? Please get in touch and share your thoughts! As always, I’m happy to change the event details to be inline with what club members want.
Menai Straits Cruise (11-12 Aug)
We’ve had two people drop out of the Menai Straits cruise, so the event is no longer marked as ‘Standby only’. I am looking for a charter from Conwy but currently not having much luck, so the final charter may be booked elsewhere (but with the same itinerary of the Menai Straits).
If you’d like to book a place (or two!) — or indeed have recommendations for charter locations! — please contact me.
End of Season Rally (13-14 Oct)
Bookings are coming along nicely for our End of Season Rally, but it would be great to have some more. This is most certainly an event where early bookings really help so great berthing and Saturday night venue can be organised while places are still available.
If you’d like to come along, please make sure you’ve sent your booking in; thank you!
