Next Meeting

Hamble River’s Classic Superyachts

THURSDAY 3rd April 7.30pm - Hamble Memorial Hall (Rear Hall)

Ian Underdown will be telling the fascinating story of some of the best-known world classic superyachts that were saved by the mud of the Hamble River to sail in their magnificence today.

During the 1950s to 1970s the J Class Endeavour and Velsheda, plus the Big Class yacht Lulworth, were passed by in their mudberths on the river with most yachtsmen dreaming of owning them and getting them sailing again.  The J Class were the most beautiful racing yachts ever built and the Big Class raced against the King George V’s renowned yacht Britannia.

Ian will be giving a well-illustrated history of these superb Hamble yachts from their launching to their revival and videos of them sailing today in the world’s most luxurious locations.  Not to be missed by anyone who is interested in Hamble River.

New members and visitors are always welcomed!  The cost is £2 a meeting.
