BMYC Cruising Schedule for '26 launched!
Published 12:57 on 22 Jan 2026
BMYC Cruising Schedule for '26 launched! Start booking your spaces now to secure your place!
We have another brilliant season lined up for BMYC Cruising this year with all the familiar favourites you enjoy, plus some exciting new additions.
To finalise and confirm these rallies, we need your bookings in. So please grab your calendar / Filofax / vellum scrolls and start blocking out the dates!
Alongside the scheduled rallies, we'll also be organising ad-hoc, short-notice outings whenever the weather looks too good to resist whether that's a perfect summer evening or a blue-sky Saturday morning. We'll use WhatsApp to rally a few boats and get part of the fleet out together at short notice.
We fully expect the usual cruising calamities: boats running aground, skippers "resting their eyes" a little too long, fouled propellers, and the like and for all of this, the PFOS will, as ever, be on hand.
