This part of the rally is an extension to the Chichester Harbour rally (31 April / 1 May). Those coming to Littlehampton would best depart from Chichester Harbour shortly after low water. This will allow you to catch the flood tide heading towards the Looe Channel. On leaving Chichester Harbour head south initially into deeper water at West Pole before turning east. Sail between Boulder and Street and leave Mixon Beacon to port. You should arrive at Littlehampton between one and two hours before HW, when there is slack water at the harbour entrance.

The current through the narrows can reach 5kts. The speed limit is 6 1/2 kts. Moor up just below the Harbour Office which is situated on the east bank.

Drinks and nibbles will be at 6.30 followed by a meal (if there is sufficient demand) at 7.30 -8pm. The meal will be at the Steam Packet, 15 minutes' walk up-river.

Confirmed attendees (Sunday 24th) are:

Abacus (2)

Expedia (2)

Sea Lady (2)

I will post a menu from the Steam Packet later in the week.
