Centenary Social Cruise
ESSC Centenary Social Cruise Week of 27 Sept
We have arranged a Centenary Cruiser Rally during week of 27th September, with options to join in almost at any time during the week. Please read on below if you are interested in joining in with your boat or perhaps coming as crew.
NOTE THAT THIS CRUISE PROGRAMME HAS NOW CHANGED DUE TO CLOSURE OF BEMBRIDGE MARINA DURING THAT WEEK.
SEE BELOW FOR THE UPDATED PROGRAMME AND TO LET US KNOW YOU WOULD LIKE TO JOIN IN.
General
The aim is to have a relaxed and enjoyable cruise, with options for regular dinghy sailors to join the cruiser group as crew, or to bring their boats if suitable. ESSC members with motor cruisers are invited to join in and will be given a warm welcome!
This will be a grand celebration of our Centenary, with club flags flying and celebration parties at each marina, letting the Solent know about ESSC's special birthday!
Also, there is the option to "mix and match" and do part of the cruise, arriving or leaving from Cowes or Newport or to stay on if the weather is fine.
Booking
The marinas have been booked and to secure your place we need to hear from you by Friday 24th Sept at the very latest. We can then let the respective marinas have your details to secure individual bookings.
Thank you to those who have already expressed interest in joining in. Please just review your booking and joining date, in the light of the new programme. Please also let us have your evening dining preferences and numbers - all restaurants are now booked for us.
