Sailing Weekend
6th - 8th July 2012
We have Chartered 3 Yachts and we will have 17 people out to enjoy the weekend.
The weekend starts from the Hamble sailing across to Cowes and dinner Friday evening in the Island Yacht Club in Cowes.
The
plan unless the weather intervenes is as follows.
- Depart midday to pick up the boats in the Hamble at around 4pm. We have chartered 3 boats 2 36ft Bavaria's and one 34ft Halberg Rassey.
- Sail
to Cowes on the Friday evening. We have been booked into Cowes Yacht Haven
as the "Sevenoaks Mini Flotilla".
- Dinner
has been booked as usual at the Island Yacht Club for 8pm which is a short
walk from the mooring.
- On
Saturday low water is at 8 a.m. BST which means we should be able to sail to Bembridge for lunch leaving at around 9.30.
- After
lunch, high tide is at 3 pm so we plan to sail again to Yarmouth with the tide helping us. We have booked 3 berths in
Yarmouth Harbour for Saturday night..
- Dinner
on Saturday night will be in the Bugle Inn where we hope to have a room to
ourselves.
- Sunday
will an interesting sail with the tide back to the Hamble. On Sunday
we thought we'd let the non-skippers run the boats so that we expand our experience base further
- The
yachts have to be returned to the Hamble for around 4pm so we need to be
back in Southampton Water before the tide turns.
