On Saturday, June 18, Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal, otherwise known as Princess Anne, visited the Royal Lymington Yacht Club (RLymYC) for an impressive Regatta Day celebrating the Club’s centenary.

The Centenary Regatta Day and “Après Sail Festival” brought together Members of all ages, their families and friends for a glorious celebration of one hundred years on the water. Flotillas of yachts, dinghies, motorboats and paddle craft took part in a wide variety of events during the day. Afterwards, Members returned ashore for food, drinks, live music and fun activities including a Centenary Haybale Games on the green adjacent the clubhouse.

RLymYC Commodore Phil Lawrence said “We were honoured that our Patron, HRH The Princess Royal, was able to join over 800 Members of all ages for our Centenary Regatta Day. We celebrated one hundred years of the Royal Lymington Yacht Club with a packed day of activities afloat and ashore.

“Out on the water Princess Anne reviewed our fleet of members’ yachts and powerboats, many of which were dressed overall to celebrate the day. Keelboats raced for our prestigious PotterShip Trophy and the dinghy fleet raced in boisterous conditions. Many of our junior sailors were delighted to meet the Princess as she watched them learning the joys of boating.

“Back ashore, dozens of Club volunteers delivered a tremendous festival with food and drink, live music and fun activities on the green. It was fantastic to see so many Members with a shared passion for boating – from the very youngest to those with over 50 years of membership enjoying the celebrations.

“We were delighted to showcase to Her Royal Highness the enormous range of varied activities and excellent facilities the Club has to offer. Whether your passion is motor cruisers, yachts, dinghies or paddle boards, junior sailing and training or a thriving social scene, the Royal Lymington Yacht Club has something for everyone.”

Patron of the Club since 1979, the Princess was welcomed by Her Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Hampshire, Mr. Nigel Atkinson, New Forest District Council’s Vice-Chairman, Councillor Neville Penman, Mayor of Lymington, Councillor James Hoare, and the Club’s Commodore, Phil Lawrence.

The Princess Royal was introduced to Club’s Flag Officers, Centenary Regatta organisers and a number of young sailors, before heading out on the water in a RIB to tour the Regatta. A spectacular fleet of Members’ yachts dressed overall in nautical flags and motor cruisers anchored in lines on the Solent adjacent to the Club’s Starting Platform for a Fleet Review by Her Royal Highness.

The Princess Royal then took the opportunity to watch the prestigious PotterShip Race, an annual event where Members compete for the glittering PotterShip Trophy, given by the Club’s founder, Major Cyril Potter, in 1937.

After watching the start for the XOD boats, which have been raced out of the Club throughout its one-hundred-year history, the Princess Royal was treated to an impressive ‘fly-past’ by young Club Member, Hattie Rogers in her foiling Waszp dinghy, in which she was recently crowned SailGP Inspire Female World Champion. Hattie said “The Centenary Regatta was a complete celebration of all types of racing and cruising. To sail in front of Her Royal Highness was an honour and very memorable.”

Whilst out on the water, Her Royal Highness was introduced to the race and safety officials, and watched the dinghy racing, where junior, youth and adult sailors were racing in windy conditions a lot stronger than originally forecast.

The Princess Royal then had the opportunity to watch the Club’s youngest sailors in more sheltered water closer to shore; a colourful display of pottering Lymington River Scows brightening up the grey sky. Her Royal Highness waved to the youngsters and showed a great interest in the Club’s adventure sailing ‘Shipmates’ and ‘Mariners’ fleets and enjoyed seeing the two Club Boatmen, dressed as ice creams, handing out ice lollies to the delighted children.

The Royal Lymington Yacht Club is one of the most active ‘Royal’ Clubs, founded in the hopeful days after the first World War. Royal status was bestowed on the Club in 1936, which complemented the Royal patronage of the Club since 1925. The First Patron was HRH Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, the uncle of HM The Queen.

Since becoming Patron of the Club in 1979, HRH The Princess Royal has made numerous working visits to the Club, including joining the crew in the ladies’ championship event, participating in RIB support of junior racing, and attending key events in the life of the Club, such as the commissioning of the new pontoon in 2016. The Princess Royal has been an enthusiastic visitor to the Club’s special occasions and for a while kept her yacht on the river close to the Club.

The Princess Royal has taken a particular interest in young people’s sailing and training, as well as sailing for disabled people. She most recently visited Royal Lymington in 2019 to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Wednesday Junior Sailing, the Club’s community sailing programme, which is in many ways the “Jewel in the Crown” of the Club’s achievements. This unique project was started by a group of members to benefit local children interested in learning to sail who might otherwise not have the opportunity.

The Royal Lymington Yacht Club is considered very much a home of yachting, dinghy sailing and motor boating – bringing together likeminded people with a love of the sea.

Berthon & the Royal Lymington Yacht Club

By brian may, berthon boat company, berthon.co.uk – rlymyc.org.uk.

Those readers who have visited Berthon by sea will have passed our friends and neighbours at the Royal Lymington Yacht Club to port on the last stretch of river before docking with us, just slightly upriver.

Last year the Club celebrated its centenary having supported and encouraged yachting in all its forms, offering facilities for sailors from the very young to the more mature and providing that unique camaraderie that is at the heart of all good yacht clubs. Like all old friends, the Club and Berthon have a symbiotic tapestry of past and present and a story that will continue to unfold for the coming generations.

Being both Berthon archivist and Royal Lymington member, I thought that you would be interested to read something of the story so far, but it merits a little history prior to the Club’s birth; other chapters written to mark the Club’s centenary was a task for archivists other than me.

The Reverend Berthon is a key figure in the history of Berthon Boat Company as the inventor of the stout Berthon Collapsible lifeboats, made from waterproof flax canvas soaked in a concoction of turpentine, soap, linseed oil and paint, and stretched over thinly laminated frames hinged fore and aft, developed after the PS (Paddle Steamer) ORION foundered in 1850 drowning 41 of the 200 souls aboard. One of the survivors was his clergyman Reverend Clark, who encouraged the cleric to solve unnecessary tragic drownings. Sadly, their purpose was eschewed for decades, with discerning customers buying them as tenders for yachts, exploration adventures, and bailey bridges before these little boats eventually served their original purpose after the loss of the Titanic; subsequently, the Lusitania’s crew refused to board her until the board sanctioned enough Berthon collapsible lifeboats to be purchased, for the crew; however, none for the paying passengers!

Before WW1 Harry May and Frank Morgan Giles started Morgan Giles & May in London and then moved to Hythe on the west bank of Southampton Water, building sailing dinghies, 6meters and the Felixstowe Sea planes, eventually trading as May, Harden and May as Frank moved to Teignmouth.

Subsequently, The British Aircraft Association bought the Hythe operation in 1916 to continue building the sea planes, which freed Harry and Frank May to purchase the well-known Berthon Boat Co Ltd based in Romsey; they then bought the Lymington site, Courtneys, and chose to use the well-known Berthon name for the Lymington Shipyard that had provided nine ships of the realm for Edward the Confessor in the 13th Century.

Next came the West Solent One Design, a restricted design conceived by Harry May to commemorate the new Royal Lymington Yacht Club building, delivering five to Royal Lymington Yacht Club members in 1923 and a further five to the Argentina Yacht Club. One of the first production racers, they were laid down in batches with apprentices learning their trade – nothing changes! I bought W-8 in 2013 to maintain traditional shipwrighting skills by restoring her; RIPPLE attracts much attention in the big blue shed, and doubtlessly she’ll race here shortly. Yes, the timeframe is long, but we must always put our clients first!

The Lymington Scow is another iconic little boat with dozens of them on the Lymington River, many of them sailed from the Club. By 1927 Berthon was advertising them at £40 using elaborate jigs for the standard boat that was planked with wych elm and larch, with pine thwarts. The iron fittings were galvanized. There was also a ‘deluxe’ version in mahogany with gunmetal fittings at £10 more. By 1948, Berthon had delivered over 200 scows around the Solent and beyond, many of them to RLymYC members.

The next associated relationship was born out of the design and build of a 12-ton Gauntlet by Harry May, the result of an enquiry for a yacht from Mr Berge who decided on a different design from Philips of Dartmouth. Harry was furious, threw down the Gauntlet, building his design challenging the Phillips yacht and won handsomely. They became a popular class, and Gauntlets were commissioned by a number of Club members.

World War II saw Berthon 100% busy with MOD work, building 215 boats between 1939-45, including a variety of 72’ minesweepers, 72’ harbour Defence launches, motor fishing vessels for undercover work, and assault landing craft. Many of Berthon’s current crew had grandparents who were employed by Berthon.

W (Bill) M Martineau, who became the Club’s commodore in 1954, commissioned the first Gauntlet to be built after the war when the restrictions on leisure boating lifted. The life of the river slowly returned to normal and Harry May (known to all as Puffer May because of the ever-present roll up between his fingers or hanging from his lips) was eventually delighted to be invited to be a member of the Club in 1949. Being ʻ Trade ’ it was an honour which came towards the end of his life. He died in 1952 at the ripe old age of 79.

Just before my father David took control of the yard in 1960, Berthon built him and Jack Bryans, Club Commodore from 1958 to 1963, the first 2 of 16’ Finn class racing dinghies, David called his FINNIGANS WAKE and Jack’s was DEFINITION. By 1966, Berthon had built and launched CHEEMAUN, a 52-foot TSDY commissioned by Jack.

David was an enthusiast and skilled racing yachtsman, participating in Club regattas. Berthon fitted out a series of winning yachts for him, the most successful was one of the two Nicholson 43’ hull’s, winning almost every silver Cup that Solent yacht clubs could offer! I recall my mother employing a silver cleaner because in those days the winner literally held the Cups until the prize giving the following year.

Others were the successful Ron Holland designed one tonner WINSOME BLUE and then WINSOME GOLD in 1979, a Dubois design masthead version of POLICE CAR that narrowly missed UK’s Admiral’s Cup Team but ended up chartered to the Argentinian team after a mast break in race one.

When my brother Dominic and I took the helm in 1990, the Club was again interwoven. As a youngster I had sailed on Club adventures in a mirror dinghy to the Solent north shore, Hurst Castle and Newton Creek before moving up to club regattas. Dominic sailed in J24s, Etchells and then bought X-18 originally, built by Berthon in 1927. Berthon apprentices rebuilt her and he competed in the Royal Lymington Yacht Club and Cowes week XOD racing calendar in 1992/3.

I then created the Berthon Source Regatta, with Don Wood, under the auspices of the Royal Lymington’s dedicated Race Officers, Judges and Mark Layers. This event ran for a decade attracting Admirals and Commodores Cup race yachts from all over the world to practice with locals in the tidal waters of the Solent, racing with the world’s best sailors.

Today, the collaboration and friendship between us and the Club continues with J-80s and Folkboats dry sailed out of Berthon. We are pleased to provide the infrastructure of onshore cranage and berthing, whilst the Club continues to provide the race management, clubhouse and social events. We also provide trailer storage for dinghy Club events, and the friendship between these two stakeholders on Lymington River remains as strong as it was a hundred years ago.

Celebrating the Centenary Royal Lymington Yacht Club book is available at the club for just £20, and if you wish to become a member, drop in; they are very welcoming.

Royal Lymington Yacht Club Centenary 1922 to 2022

1922 to 2022: Our Centenary Year

Celebrating 100 years of the royal lymington yacht club.

2022 was an incredibly special year, with our Club celebrating 100 years since its foundation in 1922. It was a year of celebrations, building on our existing successful annual events on and off the water including a Centenary Regatta Day with "Apres Sail" Festival, and a spectacular Centenary Party. It was in 1922 that the Lymington River Sailing Club was formed, in the aftermath of the Great War, which had frustrated all previous attempts to bring together local sailors. Many of “the great and the good” lived in Lymington and were members of the Royal Yacht Squadron in Cowes, but they wanted their own Club on their home river. That year, Major Cyril Potter and his friends got together at Potter’s house, near the ferry terminal, to form the Club.   They bought the disused Coastguard Boathouse which was ideally situated on the town side of the river. Since then, it has been expanded to become the excellent facility enjoyed by members today. “Royal” status was bestowed on the Club in 1938, which complemented Royal patronage of the Club since 1925, the current Patron being HRH The Princess Royal.
