I was there last year.... there were a lot of boats anchored north east of the harbour entrance in the bay and a no-go zone during the display marked off with inflatable yellow buoys in the north outer harbour and north west portion of the bay.

Look similar this year - the NTM is linked below including a chart showing the display axis and the no-go zones.

There will be a lot of other boats around - finding a good space may prove tricky!

Also - don't assume the marina staff know about the exclusion zones.

 

[Halo]

Many thanks for that - really helpful - now joining the RYA "Muster" so should be OK

Hi Halo, what boat?

Are you stopping overnight at Sunderland Marina? There are a crowd of us going down to watch the show.

I do hope you have a full fridge...... And an objection to temperance

Fridge WAS full. As was the beer locker...and the wine locker. And the spirits locker. Boat was sailing well on Sunday....when they were all empty
