The rally to RVYC has been planned for neap tides so that boats will probably float most of the time as the mud alongside the pontoon dries approximately 1m - 1.5m above Chart Datum.
Portsmouth Tides
Saturday August 30, 2025 HW 1635 4.4m LW 2141 1.7m
Sunday August 31, 2025 HW 0411 4.1m LW 0959 1.9m
Please see rvyc.org.uk/page/visiting-us for berthing information. The green areas shown on the Pontoon Berthing Plan rvyc.org.uk/club-1/pontoon-map will be available for us which should allow 6 boats to tie up to the pontoon. If more boats sign up, we can probably accommodate one or two more without rafting using other areas by arrangement.
Arrival from Saturday noon onwards will be expected but you are welcome to come on Friday too. Depending on conditions, from 1500 - 1600 entertainment will be provided by RVYC-RC (my Radio Controlled Racing Fleet) - anyone interested will be welcome to have a go. BYOBoat if you have one!
On Sunday there is plenty of time for a walk to Quarr or beyond as well as lunch being available.
The Club is now operating both the Bar and Catering in-house - this relies on support from both members and visitors. A huge amount of work has been done to bring the facilities to a better standard. As a result, the Club is now an even better place to visit.
The Club Bar will be open from 1100 to 1900ish on Saturday and Sunday. The plan is to meet for drinks at the Bar at 1700. Nibbles provided.
The Galley will serve us an informal supper on Saturday night at about 1745. The Menu is a follows:
Wagyu beef burger, fries & relish £14
Chicken Caesar Salad £13
Ham, egg & chips £10
Moules mariniere, fries or bread £13
Chicken goujons & fries £7/£10
Dessert - icecream tubs (various flavours) or Affogato
Please - the main courses MUST BE PRE-ORDERED at the latest by 1300 on Thursday August 28th when you have seen the midday forecast (desserts to be ordered on the day).
PLEASE INDICATE YOUR INTEREST IN ATTENDING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE - include ETA and number of people for Saturday supper.
Look forward to seeing you.
