We welcomed 5 Danish and 1 German boat and crew to Lymington and 15 Local boats
made up from the Solent Nordic fleet. Most visitors arrived by Thursday, 15 th
September and were launched by lunchtime on Friday 16 all at the Lymington Yacht

Haven. 4 of the 5 Danes went out practising in a light (8-10 knots) NE’ly breeze into
Christchurch Bay (CB) on Friday! All without outboards or a rib and just to get an idea
of the conditions!
