The club is returning to the popular Folly Inn on the River Medina.
It’s packed most Saturdays through the season with Isle of Wight locals and visiting yacht crews. Table dancing has been known to happen here in the past — though there’s no recent word on whether it still does.
Note: there’s no shore power or water on the mid-river Folly pontoons, so bring your own if you want the comforts of home.
Crew seeking berths should visit the S&CA WhatsApp Crew Match group. Land-based members are welcome too, and may want to book a local hotel or B&B.
We’re very much a social club, but please be mindful of the dangers of alcohol consumption near water. There have been incidents at past events of people falling from pontoons into the water after drinking — each could have ended in tragedy but for luck. Please pace yourself at club events, and take extra care getting safely back on board at the end of a social evening.
We look after each other: if you notice another participant showing signs of intoxication, let their crewmates know, and make sure they aren’t heading back to the boats or pontoons alone.
For further safety advice, see the RYA and RNLI guidance.
Message the S&CA South Coast WhatsApp group with any questions.
