A very busy summer season, which is carrying on into September, has led us to the decision not to attend the Southampton Boat Show this year. We will, however, be attending the RYA Dinghy Show at the end of February 2022 at it's new location in Farnborough Exhibition Centre.

Jersey certainly seems to have gone out of its way to welcome visiting yachts with it's free testing system. We enjoyed our stay here even if the two days spent on the drying pad, cleaning off and antifouling, were (as usual) exhausting!
