This Newsletter’s Promotions
These events are great opportunities to get some quality time on the water, be it crusing or racing (or both!) that takes your fancy. Let me know if you’re interested asap, as early booking allows us to secure the best boats and pricing:
Solent Cruise (Bank Holiday), 23-26 August
After a flurry of bookings, this event is now going ahead. Being a longer Bank Holiday weekend, the crew were after a bit of comfort and so have booked onto a Beneteau Oceanis 45 from our partners at Fairview Sailing, with four double cabins.
There are six confirmed bookings and we’re awaiting confirmation from two more. If you would like to join them please get in touch with me. The two we’re awaiting confirmation from have priority and — skipper and crew permitting! — there’s always a couple of saloon berths that could be used.
The published price range is £270 – £350, or less if the saloon berths are used, so good pricing for a long weekend on a new and spacious boat. Please get in touch asap if you would like to book onto this event.
City Sailing Series, 6-8 & 20-22 September
Committee member René Chinnery is on the team promoting the City Sailing Series. Born out of the Inter Bank Regattas, the City Sailing Series combine some friendly racing with good socialising.
John Lewis Regatta, 6-8 September
The third of four City Sailing Series events this season, with this one hosted by the John Lewis Partnership sailing club. There are race(s) on Saturday and usually Sunday, with Saturday’s (optional) evening dinner in one of Cowes’ yacht clubs.
Finn Trophy & Crossley Cup, 20-22 September
The last of four City Sailing Series weekends in the sailing season, organised by the Lloyds Insurance, Baltic & Stock Exchanges, with Saturday dinner in the Royal Yacht Squadron in Cowes. It should be a superb weekend!
If you’re interested in either weekend — and you don’t have to do both — then please get in touch. It would be great if we get enough interest for both René’s boat plus a charter boat to enter under the DHSC pennant.
…and a few more events on the website!
I’m particularly keen on getting bookings for the above events, but there are still some others listed on the website. At the end of this month, I’ll be cleaning up the programme, removing all events that don’t have any bookings yet and as such are very unlikely to go ahead… so please book now for all events you’re interested in if you’ve not done so already!
