As the Royal Vic rally sadly has had to be cancelled, i've got another location for that weekend.

I have spoke with Eling Sailing Club and they are happy to accomodate us on the Saturday night.

HW Southampton - 09:18 and 21:48.   

It's not the best tide, so i suggest you get there in the morning.  "Acess is 1 hour before HW to 3 hours after - ie. 08:18 to 12:18 and then 20:48.  Access to pontoons with 1m of water is about 3.2m on Southampton VTS website tide gauge"

There is a Gas BBQ there, so hopefully if the weather is good, we can use that.  

Although the bar usually closes at 16:00, we have asked them to stay open a little later.

Access to Eling SC: 

Into the Harbour

Follow the channel in, maintaining a distance of approximately 2 meters from the posts passing them on your Starboard side.

As you approach the bend in Creek turn to Port and stay about 3 meters from quay wall (beside containers).

You will see a slipway to starboard, and some parked craft, aim to pass astern of these with about 2 meters clearance.

Ahead there’s a post with a tidal gauge, pass this to Port.

Final Approach

Ahead you’ll see the Tide Mill and adjoining Club House, the visitor berths are immediately in front of this building.

PPlease let me know if you intend to come along, and i can let the mooring master know how many boats to expect.
