Not so long ago we announced a
nautical Sunday Service
, to take place in the glamorous location of Southampton docks. As is the norm for PHSS meets, the car spaces filled up swiftly and we look forward to welcoming a few hundred of you to the docks on the 7th August.
Sailing superstar Andy (from the Jubilee Sailing Trust) is the man who has helped make this meet possible, and he has asked us to remind you that there is still the opportunity to set sail on the morning before the PH meet, which sounds good to us.
Andy will point the good ship Tenacious towards open sea on the morning of the 7th, and he has space for 50 PHers to join him. Forget your supercars, this is your chance to steer a hulking-great ship worth £14 million. No pressure then...
The itinerary is as follows:
08.15 - 08.30 - All aboard
09.15 - Depart to cries of Ahoy (perhaps)
09.16 - Start sailing, working the decks, eating (repeat) under the orders of Captain Andy
10.30 - Subject to weather and emergencies the Coastguard rescue helicopter will carry out a winching exercise. Bear in mind that the masts on Tenacious are 42 metres tall, then factor in the waves, and it all adds up to an exciting spectacle.
15.00 - Moor up to the sight of a few hundred PH cars and owners staring at you
15.30 - Lower the gangway and welcome the land lubbers aboard
Tenacious was built to allow disabled passengers the chance to sail in exactly the same way as an able-bodied person. As such we welcome people of all ages, disabilities and abilities onboard. Don't be afraid to sign up if you have never sailed before, that's all the better in this instance. As mentioned, space is limited to 50 people and places are priced at £125 per person. Children over 12 are permitted when accompanied by an adult.

Parking: We are currently full for the Sunday Service. Thanks to the good work of Andy and the Associated British Ports Southampton, however, he has managed to secure an additional 50 parking places for those who sail in the morning.
So if you're on the parking list for the main PHSS, but decide to sign up to the sailing, please remove yourself from the list, freeing up a space for those on the reserve list. Good news all round!
Andy has also laid on some catering at the event so we can all eat, drink and be merry. We've also got music with '71 Chain' (you heard them here first) playing from 18.00.
