What’s Happening

We’re off to Chichester Marina, in Chichester Harbour for this Rally. If you’re new to rallying, you might want to read our new Anatomy of a Sailing Rally article.

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.

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
• 3 berths for Yateley
• 3 berths for Cruising Association

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

Book your boat in using the form below, to get onto the list ! Deadline 08:00 Monday 12th May. This is a bit earlier than normal, because the organisers are joining the Kids on the Water event immediately before the Chichester Rally, and won’t have the time to process late bookings.

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

Restaurant

Dinner on Saturday Night will be at the Chichester Yacht Club, with food (probably) ordered from their a-la-carte menu. Hence no specific instructions for this, currently. However, this may change, so please lookout for changes.

Agenda

GXSA Regulars will know the proven format for the weekend:

• Find a friendly Skipper, with a boat
• Pontoon Party starts at 6:00pm. An opportunity to catch up with friends, and make new friends.
• Dinner starts at 7:30pm, having been pre-ordered from the menu, below (if you’ve logged in).
• The party continues until everyone’s exhausted
• Sunday morning sees a variety of potential activities – To Be Decided
• We could even turn it into a dinghy invasion fleet !!
• Departure for home around midday, Sunday
• It’s likely that some boats/skippers will extend the weekend beforehand, or afterwards – mostly to catch a fair tide up Southampton Water.

• 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 web-form. We can usually find a kindly skipper who can offer you a berth.
