YARMOUTH RALLY 12& 13TH SEPTEMBER
You may have read the report on the Midsummer Bembridge Rally when we mustered 9 boats and 18 people and had a very convivial time. We hope that now most of us have done our annual summer cruise, a similar number or more will support the rally to Yarmouth. Below are the details, but as always please book sooner rather than later to guarantee your pontoon space.
The next Maxi Owners Association rally at Yarmouth is being organised by Julian and Carolyn Trimming. Walk ashore berths have been booked for 10 boats and the plan is for a pontoon party followed by dinner at the Royal Solent Yacht Club. Please make sure that you put the date in your diary and send a mail to Julian on jtrimming@hotmail.com if you would like to reserve your place -3 boats have booked already! H.W.Portmouth is 11.50 BST ; perfect for all of the Maxi’s to the East and also manageable for the Poole boats through Hurst. Further details will be sent out nearer the date.

Interested in the new Maxi 1200?
Yachting Monthly reviewed it in summer 2015 and you can currently (as at Feb 2016) read it here.
The Maxi 1200 was nominated in the 2015/2016 European Yacht of the Year Luxury Cruiser category along with the Adventure 55, Grand Soleil 46 LC, Oyster 475, and the Sunbeam 40. Sadly, it was beaten by the Grand Soleil. Read all about it here.
