Announcing GXSA’s third Rally of the Summer Season. Please reserve your place, etc. via email to info@gxsa.org.uk
Following on from last years successful rally to Poole & Lymington, we’ve decided on a near-identical re-run !! Why change a successful formula ?!
A three (or four) day event for those people prepared to try something a little further afield.
We’re going to Poole (harbour), amongst other places !!!
The plan is roughly:
- Friday 5th July (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 6th July – Rendezvous at the anchorage South East of Furzey Island, South of Brownsea Island.
Dinner will be shared on-board – we’re working out exactly how this will happen. We’ll share the cooking (volunteers welcome) and cram onto 2 or 3 of the larger boats to eat. In 2023 we demonstrated that it can be done, and everyone really enjoyed it….”better than eating in a resataurant“. - Sunday 7th July – We have a Rally Booking on the Dan Bran pontoon at Lymington.
There will be a Pontoon Party, followed by Dinner 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, or pre-booking…it depends which chef you ask! Things will become clear as the date approaches!! - Monday 8th July – We’ll start the day with a walk ashore, then after lunch make our way back to our home ports.
If you’d like to come along:
- Skippers – Please confirm your boat and plans by email. Who will be in your crew? Do you intend to join us Friday evening? Any other plans.
- No Boat? – Let us know if you’d like to come along: Use the email. We can usually find a kindly skipper who can offer you a berth.
If you have any questions, please email info@gxsa.org.uk.
