SUMMARY:WandererFest 2026
DESCRIPTION:CRUISING \nBookings can be made from Sunday July 12th\, fleet cruising starts on Tuesday 14th July to Friday 17th July. Members depart Saturday 18th July and may sail during that day. We have exclusive use of the site to camp and sail for any or all of the days. Tides are favourable for day cruising. \n Cruising on the principle of cruising-in-company will take place on each day Tuesday to Friday.  As there will be no support boat sailors should be competent and equipped to sail independently in marine conditions. We will start with a briefing at 10 am to be on the water by 11 am. Destinations may include Dell Quay\, East Head\, Thorney\, Emsworth and Langstone. Or do your own pottering. The slipway has an electronic winch for recovery of boats.  \nFor camping\, tents or motorhomes\, select a pitch in the field known as Wood Park North and South. Campers should park their cars in the field. The visitor car park field to the left of the lane on arrival is the place\, nearest to the shore\, also to park boats. There are  loos and showers located near the boat park and we will also have hired loos in the camp field. The “pavilion” next to the launch area will be available for use of the fridge\, brewing tea or coffee\, or for watching\, with thanks to Bosham SC for the use. No cooking however is permitted in the pavilion.   \nSelf-catering will again be the norm. Members may also enjoy rambling around the lovely country and coastal walks. Dogs are welcome so long as your dog doesn’t bark a lot\, is under control at all times and poop in the camping field is scooped. The local pub at Chidham may well be the focus of evening activities. A torch is useful at night! \nTickets for all bookings for WandererFest are purchased online.  \nYou can purchase tickets below for the event. You MUST include the free EVENT PARTICIPATION ticket with the necessary declarations completed. \nThe relevant documents can be accessed here: \n\nWCOA EVENT RISK STATEMENT DECLARATION\nDATA PROTECTION and USE OF IMAGES of YOU and YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS TAKING PART\nMEDICAL INFORMATION AND IMPAIRMENTS\nWCOA Safer Cruising Guidelines

SUMMARY:Cruising in the Swale
DESCRIPTION:The Swale is a tidal waterway between the Isle of Sheppey and mainland Kent. With extensive salt marshes on both sides\, the Swale forms an area of international importance for birds and nature conservation. From Whitstable our day sails are planned to go with the morning flow and afternoon ebb of the tide to Shellness (3 miles)\, Faversham Creek (6 miles) and Conyer Creek (8 miles). If you love estuary sailing and the solitude that the Swale can offer (although just 55 miles from London)\, it brings its own navigational challenges\, as marked by the relics of many wrecks seen along the shores of the creeks and the Swale itself. Passage plans will be provided. Bookings for any or all of the three days will be through the Whitstable YC website. \n\nCruisers will be welcome to stay for the weekend racing and racers are welcome to book any day for the cruising. For more information about Whitstable YC go to Homepage – Whitstable Yacht Club and for the event contact Richard Maltby – richard.maltby9@gmail.com
