Yachts : Island Folly – cancelled

This will be a three day midweek cruise enjoying all aspects of the Medina River.

We will sail from Chichester to the Medina River on the 19th May 2020. Berthing will be on the Folly pontoon and rafting will be expected. The tide will be west going from 0800 to 1400hrs approximately so there will be plenty of time to cover the 22Nm distance with tide all the way. We will have a pontoon party on the Folly Pontoon at 1730hrs (bring your own bottle and glass). After the party crews can then either eat on board their boats or grab the ferry to the Folly Inn for dinner.

High water mid-morning on the 20th means that entry to Island Harbour can be before lunch giving time for a walk/cycle ride along the Medina River into Newport for lunch, coffee, shopping or whatever takes your fancy. Buses also run into Newport from the end of the marina access road for those who do not wish to walk. An evening meal will be arranged at the Breeze restaurant within the marina complex for 1930hrs.

Locking out the following day the 21st will probably start around 0830hrs dependent on your draft and free flow around 1100hrs. Participants can sail back to Chichester or their own choice of destination. There will be a briefing at CYC on Monday evening (18th) at 2100 hrs for those that require it.
