Bembridge Cruiser Rally 6th & 7 June 2026

From cold in St. Vaast to wind at Bembridge, the summer of 2026 has given us both!

Four boats managed to get to Bembridge on Friday 5th in preparation for the Rally - Barti Blue, Evening Sunshine, Ripple of Kyle and Tandala - but unfortunately Second Chance was due to arrive on Saturday and sensibly stayed on their mooring, rather than sail in a gale.

Friday evening was spent supporting the Bar and Café (Pizzas for Supper) at the Duver Marina, before everyone bedded down for the predicted gale coming through overnight and for Saturday. And blow it did! Various crews ventured out, read books, watched films and generally relaxed before the “Pontoon Party” provided by Ripple but kindly hosted by Barti Blue, who’s cockpit is three times the size of Ripple’s! Two taxis taking 8 people and 2 dogs arrived at Brading Haven Yacht Club for Dinner. The Rally was given a very warm welcome and served delicious food.

By Sunday the wind had decreased and everyone left the Duver around 3pm for a quick sail home.

Our next Cruising event is Saturday 3rd & Sunday 4th October, at Hornet Services Sailing Club, Haslar Creek. Rally Organisers: Steve & Cathy Lacey on Wild Rival

Do come and join in!

What a fantastic day out on the water yesterday for our race practice! ⛵️

A huge thank you to Guy and Zoe for organising such a brilliant session, and to everyone who came along and made it such a success. The energy, teamwork, and enthusiasm were great to see!

Days like these are what make our sailing community and club life so special. Bringing people together on and off the water, sharing skills, stories, and a real passion for sailing.

We can’t wait to welcome you all back for our 2026 race series. See you on the start line! 🌊

Racing is BACK! ⛵️

Our Spring Series got underway last night, and what a way to start. Sunshine, great sailing, and an even better atmosphere out on the water. It was fantastic to see so many of you back racing and enjoying the evening together.

We know that a lack of racing has been one of the challenges affecting membership in recent years, so it’s brilliant to see the return of regular racing at the club. This is exactly what the RSYC is all about.

Our focus? Fun, friendly, and welcoming racing for everyone. Whether you’re competitive or just keen to get involved, there’s a place for you on the start line.

Here’s to a great season ahead! 🌊

🐰🌸 We knew he’d come… and he didn’t disappoint!

The Easter Bunny paid us a special visit here at the Royal Southampton Yacht Club – and we even caught him sneaking along the balcony delivering eggs and leaving a magical Easter trail for all our cadet members and their friends! 🍫✨

Pop (or should we say hop 🐇) down to Gins and join in the fun!

Just a reminder that we are fully booked for lunch today, but the bar is open and we’ve got plenty of delicious cakes and hot cross buns waiting for you. ☕🍰

Happy Easter from all of us! 🌼
