    The fleet will head for Lymington on Saturday, with our fingers crossed for better weather than 2023 when only the bravest skippers completed the passage!  A revisit to the Royal Lymington Yacht Club following their excellent hospitality last year.  A relatively short hop on Sunday to the Beaulieu river, with the BBQ area booked for our exclusive use in the evening.

    VESSEL DETAILS HAVE NOW BEEN SENT TO THE MARINAS.  SKIPPERS REGISTERING AFTER 26TH APRIL MUST MAKE THEIR OWN BERTHING ARANGEMENTS.

    THE PLAN

    Saturday 4th Lymington - Dan Bran Pontoon

    A stroll into town for those arriving in time.  Pontoon drinks followed by dinner at the Royal Lymington Yacht Club. 

    The set functions menu seems to be rather disappointing, so we have arranged that our party will be able to order from the restaurant menu.

    If joining for the meal, please also register for the separate event below in the events list to pre-order your menu selections.

    Sunday 5th Beaulieu River - Buckler's Hard

  • East Coast Rally to the River Blackwater - Bradwell & Osea Island

    • 4 May 2024
    • 6 May 2024
    • Bradwell Marina & Osea Island, River Blackwater
    Registration is closed



     Brian Clough and Andrew Obst on their boat Alice are      arranging an East Coast Rally on the River Blackwater over  the Early May Bank Holiday weekend (Saturday 4th –  Monday 6th May).


    THE PLAN

    Saturday 4th May 

    Boats and crew should make their way to Bradwell Marina for the Saturday evening for either a BBQ or a visit to the nearby Green Man (to be confirmed). 

    Sunday 5th May

    Boats and crew to enjoy a short morning sail up the Blackwater to anchor off Osea Island for the night, and tender ashore for a BBQ on the beach. 

    Tides are approximately HW 9.15am and 9.38pm on the 4th, and 11.07am and 11.24pm on the 6th May. The idea is that more distant sailors can make it in daylight, whilst also enabling everyone to make it back in one tide from the anchorage off Osea Island (including those from the Medway. 

    Please register your interest in attending by emailing bclough53@gmail.com as soon as possible, so that a group booking can be made with the marina. Thank you.

    This event will be hosted by our Rear Commodore Training, Tomas, and our commercial partner, Commodore Yachting (www.commodore-yachting.com) and therefore there will be a (heavily discounted) charge. 

    The event will start on 4 May 2024 at Commodore Yachting's Gosport Offices, whereby Tomas will spend time with the attendees familiarising them with their boat and preparing for the days ahead.  Please be able to arrive late afternoon/evening of 3 May 2024.  Accommodation on the yacht and training is included.  You will return to Gosport on 6 May 2024.

    Your skipper, Tomas, will be in charge for the weekend and ensure attendees gain as much experience on the water as possible.  

    In addition, it is hoped that Tomas will bring the training boat and all attendees along to the larger members' event.

It's a great way for prospective members to get a feel for the Club and for new members to get to know people before setting sail.  You’re free to come along to this event but it helps us if you book so we know you’re coming.

    WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?
    1. Register your attendance via the S&CA website by 7th September

    2. Visit the Facebook CrewMatch page for all crewing opportunities

    3. Upon approach, skippers will be required to contact the harbour / marina by VHF 77 for specific berthing instructions. (please state you are part of the S&CA / Sailing & Cruising Association Rally)

    4. You can bring along friends, but remember to ‘add guest’ at the point of your registration.  Guests can only be added at the time of registration.  If you later want to add a guest and the event did not require payment please cancel your registration and re-register adding your guest.  If your registration did require payment please contact the event host.

    CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS

    The club will endeavour to provide full refunds for event charges when cancellations are made by you through the Website and made in good time. Normally, a week before the event is due to take place will be sufficient.

    If the club has made third party bookings, paid deposits or made other commitments, it may be that only a partial refund or no refund is offered.  

    Where a refund is requested due to dissatisfaction with third party goods or services, a refund will only be offered if such refund is also made to the club by the third party.

  • London Social - September 2024

    • Retro Bar (upstairs), 2 George Court, London, WC2N 6HH
    Register

    Whether you're a current S&CA member, or thinking of joining the Club, you are welcome to join us for the London Social from 7pm on the second Wednesday of the month.  We meet upstairs at Retro Bar, 2 George Court, London, WC2N 6HH, which is just off The Strand near Charing Cross. 

    Our monthly London Social has been an important part of S&CA life for decades.  With many of our members living in and around London, this has been a key forum for meeting skippers and crew, making plans, and sharing sailing stories. It's a great way for prospective members to get a feel for the Club and for new members to get to know people before setting sail.  You’re free to come along to this event but it helps us if you book so we know you’re coming.

    For early birds, a meal at 17:45 at Pizza Express, 450 Strand, London, WC2R 0TG is organised as a separate event. If you wish to attend the Pizza Express meal, please book using the separate event booking.

    If you can’t make the pizza, the Landlord is more than happy for you to bring food or even order a pizza for delivery.

    For those who live further afield, if the occasional journey into London isn't practical, keep an eye out for local social events (e.g. Brighton and Bristol). If you're keen to attend or help organise a local social elsewhere in the country, please contact:  social@gaysailing.org.uk
