Announcing GXSA’s first Rally of the Summer Season. Please register using this link

Following on from last years successes, we’ve decided to be a little more adventurous.

A three (or four) day event for those people prepared to try something new.

We’re going to Poole (harbour), amongst other places !!!

The plan is roughly:

• Friday 28th April (optional) – Rendezvous at Yarmouth, Isle of Wight. Skippers can make their own way to Yarmouth and get a berth on Yarmouth’s normal First Arrival basis.
  I expect that that crews may like to party beforehand… We usually do!!
  Dinner will be in one (or more) of the hosteltries in Yarmouth.
• Saturday 29th April – Rendezvous at the anchorage South East of Furze Island, South of Brownsea Island. If the weather is favourable, we’ll raft up, at anchor.
  Dinner will be shared on-board – we’re still working out exactly how this will happen. Probably, we’ll share the cooking and cram onto 2 or 3 of the larger boats to eat. In 2022 we demonstrated that it can be done, and everyone really enjoyed it….”better than eating in a resataurant“.
• Sunday 30th April – We have a Rally Booking on the Dan Bran pontoon at Lymington.
  There will be a Pontoon Party.
  Dinner will be at the Lymingon Yacht Haven Restaurant. The menu is seasonal, and changes weekly, dependant on what’s available. A typical menu is available here. We’re eating from their a-la-carte menu, ordering when we arrive at the restaurant, so no pre-booking, and you can eat as little or as much as you like. Pay for dinner directly to the restaurant.
• Monday 1st May – We’ll start the day with a walk ashore.
  After lunch make your way back to your home port.

If you’d like to come along:

• Skippers – Please confirm your boat and plans by registering here. Who will be in your crew? Do you intend to join us Friday evening?
• No Boat? – Let us know if you’d like to come along: Register here. We can usually find a kindly skipper who can offer you a berth.
