The Lay-up Rally is booked for Friday 10th October to Sunday 12 October. We thought, after about 15 years of much the same programme, we might change it a bit:
Friday - launch and steam in the North Lake or Bowness Bay. As in previous years, bar snacks will be available at the RWYC in the evening.
Saturday - steam in the South Lake, with lunch at Fell Foot: picnic or pay-as-you-go at the café. Return for the Lay-up Supper at the RWYC in the evening - a menu choice form will be available in due course
Sunday - Steam in the North Lake. Visit Windermere Jetty Museum at lunchtime; picnic or pay-as-you-go at the café. Return to the Yacht Club to haul out.
Please indicate on the registration form if you expect to go to the cafés - no commitment.
Launching facilities for small boats will be available at RWYC, others can launch at the Ferry Nab. All boats must have a Windermere registration, which can be obtained on-line from the Lake District National Park office in Kendal. It can no longer be bought at the slipway. All boats must submit a declaration, which can be downloaded here.
Please note the Risk Assessment and a new experimental document, the Skippers' Safety Briefing.
