FAREHAM 2 - 3 August 2025

 

The rally to FSMBC (Fareham Sailing & Motor Boat Club) will take place 2-3 August.

Mooring and showers are free at Fareham assuming you spend in the bar and /or galley.

Please do not bring your own alcohol ashore. Please note the bar is card only.

Mooring is available on the club pontoon but please keep the yellow section, the north end, free for club members. Alternative moorings will be available at the Salterns pontoons downstream.

Saturday: HW Portsmouth 18.09 (3.9m), LW 23. 35 (2.0m) 

Sunday: HW 0636 (3.7m), LW 12.11 (2.1m)  HW 19.03 (3.8 m)

Notes:  Allow about1 hour for Fareham to/from harbour entrance. There should be sufficient water for lift-keelers better than 3 hours 30 minutes either side of highwater.

The plan is to have a ‘bring your own grub’ BBQ. Fareham will provide the BBQ.

On Saturday, the bar is open from 12.30 until 16.30.  It will open again from 1700 for drinks on the Quarterdeck whilst BBQ cooking;  it will finally close at 2300. On Sunday the bar opens from 12.30 until 1630.

On both days, the galley will be open from 12.30 until 16.30 . Please do not bring your own food ashore when the galley is open.

If the weather is foul, or for other reasons, please do not hesitate to come by car.

Please contact Terry Flinn, Nondikass, if you plan to come so we can arrange sufficient berths.

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.
