This is the WEST COUNTRY RALLY and an opportunity to join an 11 - day (fully organised) LSC rally, giving you the opportunity to sail in company out from the Solent and into the lovely waters of the Dorset and West Country Coast. The rally will give you the option to tailor your own passage plan, stopping off at every pre-booked harbour, or missing out on one or 2 and taking a more direct route, with an option to anchor or pick up a mooring in Studland Bay or South Deep.
As with all rallies you can shorten or lengthen your stay, but with this rally there is the flexibility to tailor your passage to your own requirements.
