Cruising

Our charter-yacht cruises are good value as we usually get a club discount and do not have to pay for a skipper. The 2024 programme has been published - here's a link   Cruising Events 2024 v2.pdf

Each event is in the "Activities" listing (accessed from the top menu) where you can see more details and register.

Regular Club Meetings

We hold regular meetings on the first Tuesday of each month at the Binfield Club, RG42 4HP.  New or prospective members are very welcome at these. Some meetings may just be social gatherings but we also have club members or invited guests  as speakers at other meetings.  See our "Activities" listing.

For members who aren't local or can't make our meetings we encourage them to communicate with each other via Facebook or email and sometimes we arrange zoom links to our club meetings.  

Your committee meets each month, usually before the club meeting, and publishes the meeting minutes.

The John Mountain Cup 

We hold a seamanship competition each autumn when aspiring skippers, mates and crew can test & develop their skills under pressure over an autumn weekend in the Solent.  Challenges are set involving all participants whatever their level of experience.  We have prizes for Best Skipper and Best Boat.  Of course we also have a great meal out together on the Saturday night.
