Aims and Ethos

Being primarily a cruising club many rallies are organised throughout the season which include a week in the Solent, visits to other local clubs and BBQ’s held in favourite anchorages.  Although only a small club, the Club burgee will be seen on many members’ boats from Holland to South Brittany and the Solent to the West Country and beyond.

The Vice Commodore, as well as organising the cruising programme, also arranges a full social programme throughout the year which commences with the annual dinner & dance in March followed by the launch party in April.  All events held at the Clubhouse are catered by a willing team of helpers along with donations of food from all that attend.

 The ethos of the Club is one of ‘self help’; there is no bar or staff and members are expected to help with all aspects of running the Club.  Members volunteer for Officer of the Day duty throughout the season and working parties are organised from time to time to carry out bigger maintenance jobs around the Club.  There is also a daily security patrol which checks all boats moored on Club moorings.
