Topic : Hampton Open Meeting

Havnt been to Hampton for a while and wondered whether one should bring the boat to the Hampton or Molesy side of the river?
Thanks

Access is difficult if there are several boats coming as Benn's Alley on the Hampton side is narrow and only one can rig and launch at a time.  There is a big car park on the Molesey side but watch the height restriction.  Then you can either launch on the slip down from the car park or take boat on trolley to the green area on the towpath opposite the club to rig.  Either way the rescue boat will be going to and fro to collect sailors and kit etc.

I took the cover off the boat recently and have repaired the damage incurred at Salcombe, so here's hoping for another day like yesterday!

Hello! I know there'll be loads of you battling it out at Blithfield on Sunday, but it would be great to see some visitors for our Vintage event (on Saturday) and  Open meeting (on Sunday). 

It is easier if visitors can come to the Molesy side - we'll come and help round you up.

The first start will not be before 11am on both days, and there'll be one race in the morning with two in the afternoon.

We'll fill you with food and beer and wind-wise, the forecast looks fairly encouraging so far...

Any questions, please give me a shout - 07983 708465
