One of the great annual traditions down in Lymington is the Setley Cup model yacht race. This dash across Setley Pond is strictly for 'juniors' with many varied designs taking to the water made of hi-tech materials such as plastic bottles, shopping bags and bamboo.
This year saw many of Lymington's top designers & sailors guiding the junior controllers and the assortment of yachts across a partially frozen Setley pond. Before racing a rowing boat was used as a platform for some energetic ice smashing to enable the racing to go ahead.
A full report will follow soon but in the meantime here are some photographs from the event.
