Status | Dates | When | Days | Event | Boats/Berths | Vacancies (skipper/mate/crew) | Sailing from | Price range (£) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Provisional | 12 - 16 May | Fri pm to Mon pm | 4 | Scottish Sailing May Mid-Week | 1 / 8 | 1 / 1 / 5 | Scotland | TBC |
We’re always keen to have an event in the programme based in the beautiful Scotland! After initial contact with potentially interest parties, this year we’re looking for a mid-week (Mon-Fri) charter from Largs, Ardfern, Craobh (Lochgilphead), Dunstaffnage (Oban) or Lerwick (Shetland). You'll be cruising our lovely, deep Scottish waters, with a chance of seeing plenty of wildlife. Getting sufficient numbers and then finding a yacht to charter is always difficult for the Scottish trips, so early booking is essential please!
Note: Two dates available; see the other Scotish Sailing event in the programme. | ||||||||
Provisional | 24 - 27 May | Fri 5pm to Mon 4pm | 3 | Cross-Channel Bank Holiday Dash | 1 / 8 | 1 / 1 / 6 | Hamble | 265 - 345 |
Making the most of the bank holiday weekend, this event is looking to depart asap on the Friday evening for an overnight 'dash' across the Channel to the Cherbourg peninsula. What could be better than starting Saturday with a proper French croissant and café? There will be plenty of time to buy some lovely French delicacies (& maybe un peu de vin!), and enjoy more French cuisine, before departing late Sunday or Early Monday back to the UK.
Note: Other cross-Channel routes possible: very opent o suggestions from those interested. | ||||||||
Provisional | 5 - 8 Jun | Thu 5pm to Sun 4pm | 3 | Round The Island Race | 1 / 8 | 1 / 1 / 6 | Solent | 495 - 655 |
One of the world’s most famous annual yacht races, with nearly 1,500 yachts and 15,000 sailors competing in a one-day race around the Isle of Wight. It truly lives up to its reputation as a ‘Race for All’ welcoming sailors from all over the world, with professional sailors, families and first-time racers competing next to one another around the stunning coastline of the Isle of Wight. Important: The deadline for booking this event is the 29th February.
Note: Unless otherwise stated, pricing does not include the race entry fee or overnight berthing. | ||||||||
Provisional | 14 - 21 Jun | Sat to Sat | 7 | Canal Boating Week | 1 / 8 | TBC | ||
Confirmed | 19 - 26 Jul | Sat to Sat | 7 | Mediterranean Cruise: Croatia | 1 / 9 | 0 / 0 / 2 | Zadar, Croatia | 585 - 810 |
Following the fantastic success of previous years’ Mediterranean cruises, we’re offering another one in 2025. This will be a week-long event based out of Biograd na Moru, nr. Zadar, Croatia. Those already interested in the trip have confirmed the dates as stated, found a suitable charter boat and are again looking to travel early (Friday) to keep charter check-in day a bit easier. The charter cost is confirmed at £3,900 (FX depending), and so the sailing fee of £585 to £810 per person gives a healthy start to the trip’s kitty too.
Update: Cosmopolitan (Hanse 508) has now been confirmed as booked for the club. She is a beautiful 50' yacht commissioned in 2020 with excellent accommodation and equipment. | ||||||||
Provisional | 5 - 7 Sep | Fri eve to Sun pm | 2 | City Sailing Series - Finn Trophy and Spread Eagle Regatta | 1 / 8 | 1 / 1 / 6 | Solent | 295 - 390 |
Arguably the main event of the City Sailing Series, this one being organised by the Lloyds Insurance, Baltic & Stock Exchanges, with Saturday dinner in the Royal Yacht Squadron (TBC) in Cowes. It should be a superb weekend! More information can be found at www.citysailingseries.com. | ||||||||

Provisional | 24 - 26 Oct | Fri 5pm to Sun 4pm | 2 | End of Summer Weekend | 1 / 12 | 1 / 1 / 6 | Hamble | 290 - 370 |
Occurring on the last full weekend in October, this is the most popular of all the club’s events and a great opportunity to catch up with lots of club members. The semi-formal Saturday evening dinner (included in the sailing fee) is a great social event: venue suggestions are welcome.
The higher than usual cost is an estimate and covers the charter of a larger yacht, such as a Dufour 460 GL (as per last year). Final pricing will depend on bookings. | ||||||||
Provisional | 25 Oct | Sat 7pm | 1 | EoS Dinner Only | TBC | 40 | ||
Those who can’t come along to the End of Season Rally are welcome to join everyone for dinner on the Saturday evening, venue TBC (but likely somewhere on or near the Solent). |
