Yachts: Marchwood Cruise

The cruise is to the small but friendly Marchwood Sailing Club at the head of Southampton Water.  It is an owner run club where we have always had a great night.  The cruise includes seeing the delightful Netley Abbey, cruise liner spotting at Southampton docks and being close up to the huge container ships at the container terminal.  Berthing involves rafting up on walk ashore pontoons that have no shore power. A pontoon party will be held followed by our evening meal, which is planned to be a BBQ adjacent the club house, well known for it’s very affordable prices!

Cruise notes will be sent out during the preceding week and any participants who need help or advice will be contacted.

Lock bound boats will need to be on their way to Marchwood as soon as the rising tide lets them lockout, the Itchenor low being at 06:10. For those returning to Chichester, departure on Sunday will be required in time to arrive in Chi Harbour on the rising tide, HW Itchenor being at 14.10.
