Saturday 9 May Exmouth Kayak Rally
Annual Oxfam Exeter to Exmouth Kayak Rally Saturday 9 May 2015
I am pleased to announce 9 May has been booked for our fifth annual Oxfam Kayak Rally. It is earlier in the year due to tide times, but a good excuse to get everyone out on the water before the summer.
High tide is 1038. We will leave Exeter basin between 0800 and 0900, arriving at The Turf by 1030 in order to reassemble to leave on the river by 1100.
We had a record turnout last year and we know more Dragon boats will be joining us this year which will make for a more spectacular event. We are also looking forward to seeing some more SUPs.
I hope you will be able to support the event again and look forward to sending you further details in due course.

Just over two weeks to go for the Oxfam Exeter to Exmouth Kayak Rally on Saturday 9 May, and a reminder for those who have not yet entered to submit their entries ideally by 2 May. These are available on line at www.exe-sailing-club.org
The itinerary is the same as last year with an earlier start of 0800hrs to 0900hrs from Exeter Canoe Club, Haven Banks at Exeter canal basin. There will be a break at The Turf, where all paddlers will be expected to reassemble to leave by 1100hrs, when the tide will have turned to enable them to proceed onto the river under the escort of a flotilla of safety boats. The Rally will finish at the Exe Sailing Club by 1300hrs latest where families and friends are welcomed to join participants for refreshments, to include a barbeque.
There is a fee of £10 per craft and each participant will qualify for a free entry into a raffle.
This year transport from Exmouth is available to convey kayaks to Exeter for the start and return kayaks back to Exeter after the rally. A long wheel based covered van from Direct Removals will be in position at Exe Sailing Club car park at 0700hrs to leave by 0730hrs and later in the day at 1430hrs to leave for Exeter by 1500hrs. (Depending on the take up for the Exeter return, further details will follow for offloading arrangements). The cost will be £7.50 (£10 for double kayaks and Canadian canoes). Please submit with entry form early to secure booking.
