New Members / Berth Holders Weekend 2026 » 1 day rally to Sea View

1 day rally to Sea View 16th May 2026

Our New Members and New Berth Holders event always attracts many existing members who love the format of a 1-day local rally followed by a social get-together. In the past we have anchored in Osborne Bay or Stokes Bay for lunch before returning to our home berth but this year we thought we'd try somewhere new and with an enviable reputation: lunch at Sea View Yacht Club on the Isle of Wight. They welcome visiting yachtsmen and yachtswomen who can use their mooring buoys to tie up and their launch service to ferry people to the restaurant on the seafront. On arrival we should tie up on Mooring Row B shown below.   

New members, new berth holders and existing HYC members are all welcome to take part in one or all aspects of this weekend. During the morning you make your way on your own boat to the mooring buoys off Sea View for lunch there. Plan to arrive at about midday. After lunch you make your way back to your home berth.

Once back home, at about 5:30 pm we'll hold a "bring a bottle" pontoon party in Haslar marina (location TBC)

In a change of plan, for the evening we thought it would be good to join in some of the activities of the Gosport Marine Festival which takes place on Saturday 16th. There are some shanty singer bands playing on The Lightship, at The Creek and in the town. The Lightship is looking favourite at the moment but we have been told it can get very busy especially if the weather is good.

As we will all have had lunch at Sea View we have not booked any meals or restaurants in the evening. You are free to make your own arrangements as you see fit or grab a snack on your own boat.

When you book on this event you are reserving a place for lunch at Sea View Yacht Club's restaurant. You don't need to book if you just want to take part in the pontoon party or evening activities, but it would help if you can send me an email to let me know you are coming. 

We are keen to encourage boat owners in other local marinas to join the Club so please invite them along. They can register their attendance on the HYC website, they don't need to be a member to do this.

On Sunday there will be a trip to The Hovercraft Museum in Lee-on-the-Solent.
