Frostbite Rally to West Cowes

Frostbite Rally to West Cowes 21st - 22nd March 2026

Get your boat ready after the winter break, join us for the first rally of the season and re-acquaint yourself with fellow Club members!

We will be berthing at Shepards Marina who are expecting us to arrive after 11am on Saturday 21st. Please call them up on channel 80, mention that you are with the Haslar YC Rally and they will provide your berthing instructions. Please note that some boats may be rafted.

We will hold a pontoon party at about 5pm after which we will be visiting The Island Sailing Club, who always look after us very well, for our evening meal, meeting there for pre-dinner drinks at 7pm.  Menu choices will be available in January.

If you plan to stay more than one night please contact Shepards Marina on 01983 297821 and make your own arrangements, but tell them you are part of the Haslar YC Rally.

High water Portsmouth is 12:44 GMT on Saturday 21st.

A Rally Lead will be available to help with questions and bookings, and there are a number of other roles (see Duty Roster below) where we need volunteers to help make the rally more enjoyable. Please take a look and if you can help with a role just click on "Volunteer" or get in touch with events@haslaryachtclub.co.uk and we can explain more details. 

We suggest monitoring on Ch11 (Portsmouth Harbour), Ch 12 (Southampton VTS) and Cowes Harbour Ch 69 as appropriate together with Channel 16.

This is the skipper of the boat. We need this to ensure that there are enough berths for the boats.

DECLARATION BY YACHTS PARTICIPATING IN HYC EVENTS
Yachts taking part in events organised by Haslar Yacht Club do so on the understanding that they participate entirely at their own risk. The decision to set out or to continue to take part in an event is solely the responsibility of the skipper and crew who, understanding the risks, are responsible for their own safety both on the water and ashore.

Nothing in the notice of the event, the sailing instructions or elsewhere shall reduce that responsibility, neither will any actions or omissions of any Officers and members of HYC.

By taking part in the event, you declare that the boat and crew are fit for the conditions that they are likely to encounter, that you accept your responsibilities as outlined above, and that the boat is insured with cover of at least £2M against third party claims.
