Description:

This year the Isle of Wight Jazz Weekend 
https://www.iwjw.co.uk
runs from 19-22 September 2024. That’s Thursday to Sunday.
It’s proven popular with PSSA members in the past as there’s always something for everybody, whether it’s the free fringe or the ticketed headline acts.

Sadly I can’t sensibly be an organiser as I’m heavily involver with the festival that weekend, but it would be nice if it could be entered into the 2024 calendar, either as a come as you find us rally, or needed an organiser.
HW water dates at Folly Inn (halfway up the Medina) are:
Th 1240
Fr 1330 (Springs)
Sa 1420
Su 1510
Mo 1610

The PSSA is the class association for Parker and Seal lift keel yachts and other types of shallow draft yachts.
As an active, friendly club with almost 350 members, it organises rallies, social events and an annual race around the Isle of Wight.
Seals and Parkers are British-built yachts, ranging in length from 21' to 33', mostly with lifting keels. They started with the Seal 22 in 1970, built by John Baker, and followed by the Seal 28 and Super Seal 26. In 1981, Bill Parker took over the range and added the Parker 21, Parker 27 and Parker 31. These then evolved into a high-quality range of cruiser-racers built by Parker Lift-Keel Yachts - the trailable Parker 235, the Parker 285 and the Parker 335. In 2009, Parker Lift-Keel yachts ceased trading.
