10th October 2026
It was fantastic to welcome 84 berth holders representing 30 boats to our final rally of the season at Gins Farm on the beautiful Beaulieu River.
We enjoyed a wonderful day on the water, with plenty of sunshine and just a slight autumnal chill in the air – perfect conditions for one last jolly before the season draws to a close!
Boats made their way from Lymington to Beaulieu, where berth holders picked up a pontoon berth or river mooring buoy near the Royal Southampton Yacht Club’s Gins Clubhouse. Our trusty yellow ‘Thank Havens’ RIB was on hand to ferry everyone ashore, ensuring nobody missed out on the chance to catch up with fellow boaters over a tipple before heading up to the Clubhouse for lunch.
"Loved every minute and would absolutely love to go to another one"
It was lovely to see so many familiar faces come together to enjoy good food, great company and plenty of boating chat. With the sunshine on our side, it was a fitting way to round off another fantastic season of rallies and make the most of one last gathering on the water before winter sets in.
A huge thank you to the Royal Southampton Yacht Club at Gins Clubhouse for their warm hospitality, and to everyone who joined us and helped make the day such a success. A special thank you, too, to our team for keeping the ‘Thank Havens’ RIB busy ferrying everyone to and from shore!
Thank you to all our berth holders who have joined us on our rallies throughout the season. It’s always a pleasure to bring our boating community together, and we look forward to welcoming you on board for more adventures and social gatherings next year. Keep an eye on your emails and our marina noticeboards for details of our 2027 rally programme! - Pete Jennings, Assistant Manager
