Getting to Port Hamble
Tigger 2 is moored in Port
Hamble Marina, (023 8045 2741, http://www.porthamblemarina.co.uk). Hamble is approximately 6 miles southeast of
Southampton.
By Road:
Exit junction 8 from the M27
signposted for Southampton East / Hamble.
Follow signs for Hamble on B3397, Hamble lane. After approximately 3 miles you will arrive at a mini-roundabout
by the entrance to the old village of Hamble.
Then turn left into Satchell Lane (signposted to Port Hamble
Marina). The entrance to the marina is
about 50 metres along on the right.
By Rail:
From the mainline station at
Southampton Central a local service operates to Hamble station. From Hamble rail station a local bus service
operates to Hamble village. After
alighting from the bus at Hamble village, proceed to the left along into
Satchell Lane (signposted to Port Hamble Marina). The entrance to the marina is about 50 metres along on the
right.
Alternatively alight at
Southampton Airport (last stop before Southampton when coming from London) and
take a taxi at a cost of about £16.

Everything should be packed
into a reasonably sized soft holdall – there’s not very much space in the
cabins if the yacht is full of people.
If you’re provisioning the
boat, I can give you a list of the sorts of things and quantities you’d
normally want to get.
