ECA Cowes Rally (was SIBS rally)

Fri 18th September - EYH to Cowes Yacht Haven

HW Chichester 12:45 BST 5.1m

Leave EYH around 11:00 BST on, depending on draft, to head for Cowes Yacht Haven

Contact for CYH: Ch 80, Office Tel: 01983 299975. CYH is a TransEurope Marina so for those of you based at other TE Marinas berthing is half price.

There will be a socially distanced pontoon party at 18:00. As we are not sure of the restrictions likely to be in place we have not booked anything specific as of yet but there are plenty of takeaways/pubs/restaurants.

Sat 19th September - Day in Cowes

As there is no boat show to go to, during the day there are walks along the Medina to Newport, or down along the coast.

Socially distanced pontoon party at 18:00. Again, as we have no idea exactly what arrangements will be in place at the time we have not booked anything specifically with regard to meals etc. We will look at options nearer the time.

Sun 20th September - Cowes Yacht Haven to EYH

HW Chichester 14:15 BST 5.1m

Leave CYH around 10:00 BST to get back for around high tide at EYH.
