Duver Marina booked for Saturday night.
================================================
THE PLAN:
Saturday 25th March
Home ports to Duver Marina, Bembridge. We have not had an event host come forward, but I am sure that we will organise some activities between ourselves which might involve a walk and a visit to the pub.
Evening will be catering on board or own arrangements ashore. Once we have registration numbers I will organise for crews to pair up for dinner.
Sunday 26th March
TBC
Head for home ports

Your designated Point of Contact at the Harbour is Jack Miskin who will be happy to help you co-ordinate your Rally requirements and offer advice on all things local.
All rally boats are berthed in our Rally Rafting Area (increased for 2023).

Any boats not yet booked, or additional boats wanting to join the Rally, will be very welcome to book online on an individual basis, subject to berthing availability. Please notify us in advance of any specific berthing needs.
