Club Open Day Sunday 8th June
We had great weather again and an even bigger turn out than last year. We had fly pasts of jets, helicopters and training planes and without a doubt the RAFYC has been firmly put on the map.

All the work put in by volunteers seems to have been amply recognised by the comments from the visitors who all noted the friendly atmosphere, the welcome and the great feel of our club. Apparently we have received a considerable amount of interest from potential new members.

Pity there is no caption competition for Steve

Hamble Scramble Saturday 21st June
A splendid day was enjoyed by all scramblers, if a little damp! The traditional visit to the Horse & Jockey, followed by a picnic in the delightful rural farm fields of the upper Hamble prepared everyone for the rigour of the return trip. This features the running dogfight of super soakers and anything else that can be used to throw water around. The scramble returned to the club around 6pm via the Jolly Sailor.

Upcoming Events

11 -17 July - Brest Rally
Visiting the renowned Brest Festival of Sailors and the Sea, this rally needs to be pre-booked. Club members have obtained a limited number of free moorings at the centre of the festival. See the Rallies page for more information.

12/13 July - Gins Farm Rally
On arrival at Gins the berthing master will find you a mooring buoy in the river and although the RSYC runs a Club launch its operating times are limited and it is better if you have your own dinghy to take you back to your mooring after dinner. This is a glorious venue with an excellent meal provided at Gin’s restaurant on Saturday evening.

19/20 July - Osborne House Rally (Full)
This is another rally not to be missed. Berths have been reserved at East Cowes Marina and coaches take us to Osborne House on Saturday for a glorious evening listening to the Bournemouth Philharmonic Orchestra playing in the grounds. Picnics are the order of the evening before catching the coaches back to the marina.
