Folly Inn Gathering 

River Medina 

12th to 13th July 2025

A gathering of gaffers at this popular spot, using mid-river moorings. We're hoping to take a rising tide to Newport and enjoy some meals together.

Personal information

Supper event

For Saturday evening, we are planning to pair boat crews up to prepare and eat together. This means you will either cater for another boat, or be invited aboard another for supper. All parties to contribute to the meal in agreement with each other.

Mooring

Please indicate which nights you will be mooring - each skipper is responsible for payment of mooring fees on arrival

Risk statement

Sailing is by its nature an unpredictable sport and therefore inherently involves an element of risk. By taking part in the event, each participant agrees and acknowledges that:

1. They are aware of the inherent element of risk involved in the sport and accept responsibility for the exposure of themselves, their crew and their boat to such inherent risk whilst taking part in the event;
2. They are responsible for the safety of themselves, their crew, their boat and their other property whether afloat or ashore;
3. They accept responsibility for any injury, damage or loss to the extent caused by their own actions or omissions;
4. Their boat is in good order, equipped to sail in the event and they are fit to participate;
5. The provision of a race management team, patrol boats and other officials and volunteers by the event organiser does not relieve them of their own responsibilities;
6. The provision of patrol boat cover is limited to such assistance, particularly in extreme weather conditions, as can be practically provided in the circumstances;
7. It is their responsibility to familiarise themselves with any risks specific to this venue or this event drawn to their attention in any rules and information produced for the venue or event and to attend any safety briefing held for the event;
