… for the Max from your sailing!

The weather in October can be very changeable, so it is always of some concern what we would be faced with on the day of the Hamble Rally.  As it was, Saturday saw fair winds with some threatening clouds, but the rain stayed away, allowing all the boats to arrive at Universal Marina dry, although it was a little chilly.

We had 9 boats attend the rally, Lookin Foor Kloos and Aloni from Lymington, Jurate, Vertigo and Wenimbi from Portsmouth, Asante, Amazing Grace and the Samms arrived by car and Blue Lighting made the epic journey of about 200 meters from their home berth.

As is tradition with Maxi Rallies, we had pre dinner drinks and nibbles. Before heading to Banana Wharf Restaurant for dinner.  On arrival at the restaurant, we received a warm greeting and were directed to the upper deck dining area where we were served more wine and great food, enjoyed by all.

This was the final rally of the 2024 sailing season and we will look forward to meeting up again next season.

The first Rally of the 2025 season will be to Marchwood Yacht Club on the weekend of 29th / 30th March, when we will also hold the Maxi Owners Association AGM.
