This Rally is always popular.

I have reserved space for both Fri 2nd and Sat 3rd October,
For those who wish to start the weekend on the Friday evening we will do something ad hoc depending on numbers.

Rally details for Sat 3rd October.
Cowes seems to get busier and busier every year,
Our usual haunt for dinner is the Duke of York Pub, and this year Chrissy and her team are looking forward to welcoming us back,

Unfortunately they have another booking from 1930hrs, She and her kitchen team are more than delighted to accommodate us.
However please note the conditions.

Dinner menu is a pre order to assist the chef and their team.
We need to be at the pub early doors
They would like us seated by 1700hrs and to vacate the pub by 1915hrs to make way for the next group (Max 30 persons)
I hope none of you will mind eating earlier.

This will us to perhaps have a cheeky pint in one of the may other pubs in Cowes or what ever takes your fancy.
I WILL SEND YOU MENU CHOICE WEN YOU SIGN UP

Please can you let me know by
Monday 28th September.

Look forward to seeing you

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.
