A new ECF event....September in Medway.

[FullCircle]

Remember some months ago we had Gin and Cantata trying to arrange a Medway do, well, it looks like it will happen now.

We are looking at the Saturday night of SEPTEMBER 25th, and to be guests of Hoo Ness YC.

Whilst sadly their chef is off that weekend, we can organise a Barbecue. Looks like mooring mid river or nipping into Hoo Marina then walking back.


I shall kick off then

Why not Medway YC Jim as all tide access

Why not Medway YC Jim as all tide access

Because Gin is a member at Hoo Ness YC, and that was what was originally proposed.

You can nip into Hoo Marina no?

I have been to Hoo Marina and eaten at the club several times when based at Westcliff. A Snappie was at home in a mudpluggers paradise - perhaps Gin can advise on a 1.7m fin keel

Max Draught 2m

That's Guapa out

We'll do our very best to take part in the very next event in which normal boats can stay afloat.

Thanks.

Any feedback from forumites on whether this marina is really suitable for deep draft fin keeled boats would be appreciated.

I am sure that you can get in with 2 mts draught at high water and I think its springs that weekend, I went in not long ago with 1.5mt an hour or so before h/w and had a few feet underneath but I am sure GIN will confirm this, there is also the option of using the nearby trots.

Working that weekend

If Google Earth is to be believed, you'll have trouble getting a lift keel in!

If Google Earth is to be believed, you'll have trouble getting a left keel in!

Likes like several boats have already ploughed their way in/out

 

[Jomo]

I'll get on to trying to get us there. Update as soon as I know

 

[Athene V30]

MRU. Will be taking No 2 son off to Uni that weekend - HURRAH!!!

 

[pyrojames]

That rules me out too, but as we shall be passing that way the week before, I don't think I'd be up for a fifth Medway jaunt this year.
