CREEKS OF THE SOLENT CRUISE 2008

Five days spent visiting some of the less frequented ports of the Solent.
The cruise starts on 6th July returning on the 11th July.
Join and leave the cruise as you wish.
All destinations are suitable for vessels of 3 ft draft and less that are able to take the ground, as several destinations dry.
Alternately visited ports are suitable for any vessel.
Why not join us and find those tucked away places that most people pass by.



A web presentation is now available by clicking on the link

COG THURSDAYS

COG Thursday's is your chance to meet like minded RVYC members, who may or may not own a power or sailing boat, but have a general interest in travelling / racing in company to another port, inside or outside of the Solent.

These meetings generally take place in the Snug Bar of the RVYC 

on the LAST THURSDAY IN THE MONTH and run from September to April (Basically out of season) - During the season, we have Rally breifings and other events to fill the gaps.

Come along and meet your fellow cruiser members, and catch up on what's coming soon

Chris Thomas - Cruiser Captain


WE ARE RECRUITING

We are looking for a couple of RVYC members to join our fun committee.

We book Rallies at various destinations, and arrange other events such as Duck Races and Last night of the Proms.

We don't create mountains of work, and we share out the jobs.

It is fun, and a great way to meet other like minded members

So drop us a line, & discuss what we do, and how you can be a part of the fun.
