If I had my boat on the South Coast I would definitely add her to the list subject to favourable weather of course.
Personally I am not a fan of sailing in close company with a group of boats .If someone wants to keep in radio contact thats fine but sailing in a gaggle I find quite stressfull.
Far better IMHO for everyone to do their own planning then meet up in the pub later /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I\'ve got a little one!
I've got a little one - only 26'.
I usually go singlehanded and will probably go early Friday morning from Christchurch - weather permitting of course.

Your crossing times tally with my experience. 18 Hours is about normal.
If your thinking of going Nigel I would look at the Tide Heights. Knowing that you keep your boat in the same Yard as mine, I assume that, you will need a similar height of tide to get out, as I do.
With a tide hieght of less than 4.1 Metres I've had it. I reckon you will have to return wed or thursday after the weekend. If you tide figures are correct.

I need 0.7m under transducer ....
Total needed is about 1m, maybe a few cms under ....
Blimey .... now I'm checking all my photo archives for dates and checking my tides etc. - to see if I got in/out on such lows ........

Re: I need 0.7m under transducer ....
Mine draws 1.1 Metres & I have come unstuck before. To be safe a rise of tide at the Harbour Entrance of 4.2 Metres is ideal.
Of course it does give you an excuse to go off sailing for a week.

Nigel,
Surely one of these nice Solent based folk would help you out?.... find a temp mooring, and ask a nice person to move the boat when the tide permits?
