Club Successes
The Royal Lymington Yacht Club are very proud of its competing sailors. Our keel-boats & dinghies compete at national level and our members are regular prize winners in the individual classes at Cowes Week and in the Round the Island Race. We have outstanding success at both international & national level with our junior fleets and we were delighted to celebrate Ben Ainslie's 5th Gold in the London 2012 Olympics & his America's Cup win on his return home.
Here's hoping the next few years & the run up to Rio 2016 will be as successful for our Club.
