Channel Week 2011

Thirteen yachts started this year’s three hundred and fifteen mile Solo Channel week. The course Lymington – St Peterport – St Cast – St Quay – Treguier – Weymouth – Lymington was particularly testing with the first leg finishing in well over twenty-five knots of wind, rain and poor visibility after a tiring night sail.
