40 boats signed up for 50th Anniversary Contessa 26 Rally

by Mike Harrison 10 Jul 2016 22:36 BST 29-31 July 2016

A rally is being held at Lymington, the home of the Contessa 26, to mark the 50th Anniversary of this remarkable yacht built by Jeremy Rogers. It has achieved much and continues to do so, in both the racing and cruising fields - several yachts having completed circumnavigations.

The Rally is to be held over the weekend 29/31 July. A barbecue is to be held on the Friday at the Fishermans Rest, followed by dinner at the Royal Lymington Yacht Club on the Saturday. A short timed passage to Yarmouth follows on Sunday with lunch at the Kings Head before dispersal.

We now have over 40 boats attending and are hoping to reach 50! Anyone interested in attending should contact Michael Harrison on or 01983 297406 as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
