SOUTH RALLY Eight boats and 13 sailors gathered at the Dan Bran pontoon in Lymington for the HOA South Rally. Four arrived early on the Friday afternoon (Rigadoon Meridian 31 Paul & Neil, Gandalf H22 Rod & Donia, Mi-solite H24 Mike Carter, Honey H22 Howard and Jeremy) while four arrived during the course of Saturday (Strider H22 Tim, Lalep-la H22 Ian, Rifleman Harris H24 Steve and Blaze H22 Dave and Jonathan). On both days some of us travelling westward along the West Solent experienced some fairly brisk south-westerlies.Had there been a prize for the furthest distance travelled it would have been awarded to Howard and Jeremy who came from Portland. On Saturday evening we assembled on the pontoon at around 6.30pm for drinks and nibbles and then moved at around 8.00pm to the The Mayflower for a convivial meal. On Sunday those heading west left during the morning with the ebb while those heading eastwards left during the early to mid-afternnon to take advatage of the first of the flood. A fuller account will appear in the Newsletter and some pictures will be added to this site later. TAMAR VALLEY HOA GROUP FINAL PROGRAMME FOR 2010
Participation in these events, any insurance cover and all planning and decision making are the responsibility of the individual Skippers / Owners who may choose to sail their boat in company with others. HOA ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING A very succesful AGM, with 20 members attending, was held on Saturday, 6th March 2010 at 11 am at the Royal Plymouth Corinthian Yacht Club. Click here to read the minutes. TAMAR HURLEY OWNERS GROUP SOCIAL 27 NOVEMBER 2009 There was a very successful shore meeting on the China House pub in Plymouth with a large turn out - 15 members representing 10 boats and a good gender balance too. The Tamar group currently comprises 19 boats, mainly H22’s but now also including 4 H24/70’s and 2 H20’s. There are also quite a few vessels in the West Cornwall group with whom we share our events, so if we could organise a full SW Hurley rally it could present an awesome sight! There are still some Hurleys on the Tamar that haven't yet been enlisted too! In the first year of the Tamar group, joining with West Cornwall members, there were floating events nearly once a month. They ranged from the Yealm twice, Fowey, Salcombe, Falmouth and the Scillies. The best turn out was the Salcombe rally with 8 boats coming from as far as the Helford river on the West side (well done, Bruce and Vicky Carter – 12 hours direct to Salcombe) and Torbay on the East. Just putting together the ideas proposed for next year, a programme might look like this –
The next meeting will, we hope, be at the Royal Plymouth Corinthian Yacht Club, to coincide with the HOA AGM on Saturday 6th March 2010. We might be able to meet committee members there and of course, our own James Hester is on the committee. They have good catering facilities, but I haven’t yet researched the reservation procedure. Hopefully, at that meeting, it will be possible to assign some dates and finalise a programme. Tony Littlewood TAMAR
HURLEY OWNERS GROUP Another successful Rally was held by this group on Saturday and Sunday 26th and 27th September with six boats taking parts. For more details and some pictures click here. WEST CORNWALL

WEST CORNWALL EVENTS A number of
events were held in Cornwall during 2008, including the social shown
below.
RALLIES 2007 The
Rallies in the 2007 programme were very poorly supported, largely because
of problems with dates and the awful weather in June and July. However
there was a succesful Southern Rally organised by Tim Sharman at Hornet
Sailing Club in Gosport. Four visiting boats turned up: Mike Carter
(Mi-Solite, H24/70), Ken McKenzie (Sulu II, H22), Jeff Moody (Curlew
of Bosham, H24/70) and Nick Grogan (Kione, H22). Dave Gowers arrived
by road and Tim was there of course - he keeps his H22, Strider at Hornet).
It would appear that good food was eaten, good beer was drunk and many
yarns were told. For further details read Mike Carter's report in the
October Newsletter. RALLIES 2006 South - Solent The Solent Rally was held at Marchwood on 17/18th June 2006. There is a full report from Nick Grogan complete with pictures in the July Newsletter East Coast - Medway The East Coast Rally was scheduled for the Medway on 27/28th May. Unfortunately bad weather meant that any sailing had to be cancelled but a number of members met for Saturday lunch at Hoo Ness Yacht Club South West - Plymouth The South West Rally took place on 1st/2nd July in Plymouth and there is a full report from Tim Sharman in the July Newsletter. Below is a photomontage of some of the many pictures taken at the rally. It looks as though everyone had a marvellous time. Perhaps the pictures will encourage more members to attend next year's rallies
The Cross-Channel Rally - 23rd-26th July 2005 The weather and other factors proved frustrating for those taking part and prevented them from getting to Cherbourg. However, a good time was had by all. A full report is in the October 2005 newsletter.
