Leg one Lymington to Alderney - 65 miles

Channel Week - Conclusion

All twenty two boats that started in Lymington over a week ago arrived safely back in Lymington on Saturday afternoon, which given two days of pretty difficult weather is testimony to the abilities and determination of all the skippers taking part. In particular big praise to the skippers taking part in Channel Week for the first time.
 
The week itself was fantastic – hard racing, lots of parties, great food, a wonderful group of people with a very friendly atmosphere and even a game of Cricket on the beach!
