The plan is to congregate at around 0700 on August 6th close to Hurst Point and catch the first of the tide towards Weymouth. Some will be heading down Thursday evening to stay in Yarmouth or Lymington ready for the early start the next morning. We will reserve berths at Portland Marina.

We haven’t planned a meal out for the first evening, as some boats will be getting there later than others but all arrivals are welcome for a drink onboard Beyzano. There is also a restaurant at the Marina.

Saturday evening we have arranged a meal at ‘The Boat That Rocks’ on the marina, so need to know how many will be joining for booking the tables.

Some boats will head back early Sunday morning to catch the last of the east going tide through the needles but some are staying longer.
