Best moorings for SIBS

[Channel Ribs]

Given the plans for Cherbourg I have been persuaded that it is sensible to take Cottontail (our Galion 22) back to sunny Southampton for the second week of September.

If anyone has any pointers to a nice berth which is convenient for the show I would be delighted to hear.

What with all the PWCs and Mobo demos etc, I would have thought that somewhere as far away as possible would be the sensible thing to do.

Town quay no longer takes visitors so it's Ocean Village and walk or taxi or Hythe Marina and get the ferry for the nearest.

For a few years Gosport ferry ran a small launch to the show from Gosport, but it was about £10 return and as I recall left Gosport around 9 arriving aat 10 and left Southampton at 6 or thereabouts.

Why not clean the boat up and swear blind you're one of the exhibits or giving try a sail bits? They have loads of pontoons at the show, I'd have thought they'd have had one or two spare. My boat got in there a year or three back. Downside is of course you'll get the great British public on the boat but some are quite nice and flatter your boat in the proper manner.

Wot plans for Cherbourg? I've obviously missed something.

Last year Premier did a free shuttle bus from Swanwick - very comfortable and only 20mins each way. No indication yet of whether they will do the same this year though.
