Island Harbour Rally IOW

Midsummer at Island Harbour

Whether you are keen to sail or motor to the IOW, come and join your fellow members out on the water with no doubt a little bit of socialising in the evening. Either a BBQ or restaurant booking will be arranged.

Set in a beautiful and secluded valley, yet in a central location Island Harbour is the perfect base from which to explore the Island and the Solent. Located in navigable water on the river Medina, the marina is approximately 2 miles upstream from Cowes, just above the Folly reach.

As a site of Special Scientific Interest and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the marina is home to many species of birds and wildlife. Meadows and woodland copses slope down to the marina's edge. A stroll along the nature trail allows you to fully appreciate the seclusion and tranquillity of the marina site. There are further beautiful country walks and Newport, the county town of the island, with its abundance of pubs, shops and restaurants, can be easily reached by a pleasant walk along the banks of the Medina.

We will be using VHF Channel 77 as an inter-club frequency for the weekend although monitoring on Ch11 (Portsmouth Harbour) and Channel 12 (Southampton VTS) as appropriate together with Channel 16 is advised.

Please express your wish to attend by filling in the Registration Form and more details will be provided as the date gets closer.
