Cruising

….”silence is complete but for the cries of the sea-birds”  As the New Inn remains closed, the evening meal will take the form of a Safari Supper. Please let me know which course you wish to provide together with the number of guests each boat can accommodate. We would anticipate you will take the ebb tide to arrive in the creek at about mid afternoon.  The mooring buoys will each accommodate two vessels. The closer the better. A walk (taking about 1hr 15 mins) will be arranged either later Saturday  PM or on Sunday morning. Maggie          membership@rsyc.org.uk

All are welcome to join our Cruisers for a 2-course dinner in the beautiful RAF Yacht Club in Hamble. Please book with Maggie on membership@rsyc.org.uk by Tuesday 17th January.

Plenty of car parking available or boats are booked on the Dan Bran pontoon. Dinner in the Royal Lymington Yacht Club Please book with membership@rsyc.org.uk

This is a good chance to enjoy a 2 - course dinner and catch up on the upcoming racing, cruising and social events for the coming year.

There will be a combined Royal Southampton YC and Rival Owners Association Rally to St Vaast -la-Hougue on 27th -29th May. Although St Vaast is not a Port of Entry, we have confirmed that it is possible to arrive and leave directly at St Vaast, by emailing the immigration form to the 2 addresses on the form:    https://apisspl.kpratik.com/storage/uploads/2022/10/13/63480d1fb936dformulaire-immigration-SVLH.pdf You should then receive a stamped copy of the form back, via the Marina, which is your authorisation to enter Normandy.  You then need to send another copy prior to departure. Alternatively, you can enter France via a Port of Entry, such as Cherbourg, and get your passport stamped by the Police Aux Frontiers.  You then need to also get your passport stamped to exit. The Gate opening times for the harbour of St Vaast are shown in the link.  If the harbour is closed on arrival, you will need to anchor and wait for the next opening.     https://apisspl.kpratik.com/storage/uploads/2023/01/03/SVLH_annuaire_2023.pdf The outline plan (depending on when boats arrive): Sat 27th May:  Enjoy the delights of the morning market.
