Chichester Rally 2024
Chichester Rally 20th - 21st July 2024
We had a very successful rally to Chichester in 2021 and so we are heading there again but this year the event will be a little different as we intend to moor up to buoys at Itchenor. A number of visitior mooring buoys are available to use, there is a charge for this (currently about £28 for a 12m boat inc. harbour fees TBC) that is payable to the Harbour master, and each buoy can take up to 6 yachts rafted up. The Harbour Master has said that there should be good availability of mooring buoys but you have to be prepared to raft up against a non-Club boat. The best way of ensuring you have space is get to Itchenor as early as possible. With HW Portsmouth being 11:46 BST on 20th you might want to make an early start if you want to use a favourable tide.
On Saturday evening we have booked places at The Ship Inn at Itchenor but it is important to note that you will have to use your own dinghy to get from the mooring buoy to the shore and back again afterwards. Of course you can always take provisions and eat on board your own boat if you wish.
The Ship is a dog-friendly pub for those who like to bring their furry friends.
A lead boat will be available to help and advise. We will be using VHF Channel 77 as an inter-club frequency for the weekend although monitoring on Ch11 (Portsmouth Harbour), Ch 12 (Southampton VTS) and Cowes Harbour Ch 69 as appropriate together with Channel 16 is advised.
