Chairman's Newsletter Jan 2024

In my youth, just a few watches ago, the month of January brought a major event to the sailors calendar: the Earls Court International Boat Show. Earls Court Underground Station was thronged with people wearing bobble hats and blazers all aglow with the anticipation of possibly choosing a new dinghy or yacht, or more likely just meeting up with old friends at the Guinness stand. Excel Centre was never the same and Southampton in September failed to provide the mid-winter lift for spirits starved of sun and sea. However over the last 50 years or so GRP hulls and hot air central heating for cruising yachtsmen have led to plenty of activity on the Solent and River Medina during the winter months.
