Lymington branch had another very successful day at Beattlieu Boat Jumble on Sunday April 4, with a total turnover of £1,886. This year, one section of the stall was devoted to 'Bits from Famous Boats', which included a waterline model of the 1980 British challenger for the America's Cup Lionheart (shown above), donated by Anthony Boy den.

Donors of other items included Edward Heath, Dame Naomi James, Clare Francis, Adlard Coles and Lord Montagu of Beaulieu; among the famous boats from which the 'bits' came were the yachts Jolie Brise, Cohoe, Jester, Gipsy Moth V, Morning Cloud and the sail training ships Royalist, Sir Winston Churchill and Malcolm Miller. RNLI souvenirs were also sold on the stall by Lymington ladies' guild.
