Rival Owners Association

Events

South Coast - Hornet 2001   

The Laying Up Supper had to change venue for the first time in the existence of the Association. The Hardway Sailing Club felt they could no longer host the event as they have no Rival Association members.

Fortunately Andrew (with the help of Brian Wallis) found a new venue at the Hornet Sailing Club at Haslar also in Portsmouth Harbour. The event was well attended as usual and the food was just as good if not better than last year. Three crews came by boat and they were able to lie alongside pontoons rather than wade ashore through the mud. (We are getting decadent!) Also I imagine berthing was rather less of a challenge without the tide sluicing across the piles at Hardway.
