*** Cancelled *** ECA Daffodil Rally to Bembridge Cancelled
The rally has been cancelled due to the weather forecast for Saturday which would not make it at all pleasant.
ECA Daffodil Rally to Bembridge - Saturday 6th April to Monday 8th April
Our first 'shakedown' rally of the season is to Bembridge, to give an easy trip to blow the cobwebs away and check all is working as it should. Tides are a little early in the day so will be a brisk start to the day both ways.
After booking on the rally here you will need to book and pay in advance on the Bembridge Harbour website at Bembridge Self-service Booking System quoting the rally code which we will send out once we have it from Bembridge (hopefully by the start of February). Note that if you don't wish to be rafted and book a finger berth the rally discount will not be applied. Please be aware of their T&C's as any refund on cancellation, if applicable will be in the form of a credit voucher with a window of usage.
