PictureThe Javelins sailed on the East Course
Javelins arrived at Lymington Town Sailing Club on Saturday the 9th of July to a warm welcome for the 2022 Lymington Town Dinghy Regatta.
The forecast for the two days were a light breeze from the north west with a hope of the midday sea breeze filling in. 

The regatta was very well organised by the two clubs, the Lymington Town Sailing Club and the Royal Lymington Yacht Club. Two courses were organised East and West, West for slower fleets and East for the faster fleets. A  team of slipway marshals   coordinated the launching and recovery of the dinghies,  providing a trolley valet service for all boats.  

Picture
The east race course comprised of two sets of marks Alpha and Bravo.

​ When the race office team asks if you have £3m third party insurance, there’s usually a reason (ha ha) – the race officer's committee boat was a luxurious 40-foot blue motor cruiser,  'a bit of a worry when the wind drops and the tide is pushing you towards the shiny blue cruiser.'  

Picture
With light variable breeze, best route finding was crucial to avoid being handicapped by the 1.5-2 knot tidal flow.     Races were 40 minutes or 3 rounding each, but with the postponed starts and sails to and from the race course,  sailing lasted about 4 1/2 hours each day, but it is a great place to sail  with many super yachts to admire . Blue sea, blue sky and bright  sunshine -  everything we could want.

Also on the fast handicap race course were RS800's , RS700's , RS500's, Devoti  D-One's  , RS400's, Laser 4000's, a 29er, an Alto and an  National 18 Ultra.
