Not necessarily! Moorings are allocated on a first in best dressed basis to visiting skippers depending on the availability of suitable moorings. Local skippers are expected to utilise their current berthing arrangements. However, if all the moorings have not been allocated to visiting yachts by the close of nominations, local boats may be accommodated on them. Again, it will pay to get your nomination in early. All entrants will be contacted by email with mooring information.
