Rowena Cup Pursuit Race Tyne Party Weekend – 24th 25th June Posted on 20th June 2017 by Ray McGinty This a joint venture with Sunderland Yacht Club. They are having a pursuit race up to the Tyne whilst we are doing the same southwards Slowest boats will set of 11.00hrs onwards followed by the quicker boats We will muster in the mouth of the river and then motor upstream to Newcastle Quay Marina who have kindly given us free mooring for the night There is a prize given by NQM for the best dressed boats, so lots of flags and bunting. The bridge lift is scheduled for 15.00hrs.and there will be line handlers ashore. Because of barge movement and restrictions we all need to be past Walker by 14.00hrs. Sunday return, there are 2 bridge lifts booked 10.00/12.00hrs and you need to be past Walker again by 14.00hrs. Forecast is for 15k westerlies for Saturday and 15 WSW for Sunday couldn’t be better.
