What’s Happening
GXSA’s first Rally of 2026. It’s some time until the Sailing Season actually starts, but the Bembridge Rally last November showed that there are some tough souls out there. We thought we’d start early, and see what happens !!
We’re going to Premier Universal Marina at Warsash, near the top of the River Hamble.
Dinner will be at the Riverside Social. Ive not been there myself, but I’m told it’s excellent. I’m looking forward to it.
I expect there to be quite a strong demand for places. Please book early using the form below, to avoid disappointment. Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Book early to book your place in the queue. At this time, bookings are Provisional, and you can cancel at any time.
GXSA members that are logged-in to the website will get most of their details automatically transcribed from their Website Profile (if information is missing, you may want to update your profile, to reduce typing next time).
Information is trickling out of the Marina and Restaurant. We’ll update you when we know more, which should be pretty soon.
Deadlines
Most of this is nearly resolved, but watch this space:
Marina
We have reserved 10 berths, possibility to increase to 15 berths.
We’ve decided to reserve:
- 3 berths for GXSA

The remaining berths will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.

Make sure to indicate the total number of people in your crew, so we can allocate Restaurant places effectively.

We’re waiting on more news on exactly how the restaurant wants to manage food orders; probably selection from a set menu – this to be published in the near future. To get an idea of prices, their menu is available online, here
