What’s Happening

If you’ve never been on a GXSA Rally, you may be wondering what to expect. Take a look at this page, where we try to explain the general format, then come back to this page, and book a place!! We’d be pleased to have you along

Where are we going?

We are going to Island Harbour up the Medina River on the Isle of Wight.

The rally starts on Thursday 27th and goes through to Saturday 29th August.

HW Newport Thurs 27th 1158 (BST) 3.9m

Timing is critical as you can only enter the lock HW+/- 3 hours

This event is being organised by Alan & Linda Fisher from Yateley Offshore Sailing Club

What are the plans for dinner?

It is anticipated that we will end up in the local restaurant in the Marina- further details to follow.

There is expected 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:

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

Restaurant

Maximum number of diners is still to be worked out, so make sure to get yourself and your party onto the list, by completing the form, below.

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. This is to be confirmed!
• The party continues until everyone’s exhausted
• 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 Solent.

• 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.
