I come to Lymington quite a lot and tend to moor up in and around the town quay. I rarely use the marinas.
It's a tad on the chilly side tonight so the ability to keep toasty warm with the reverse cycle air-con running throughout the night along with friends already staying there meant we found ourselves in Berthon marina for the first time in ages.
What a glorious selection of boats.
I've just had a wander around the pontoons and it was a real treat. Several Princess P50's which were clearly the jewels in the crown
within a who's who of desirable craft. Princess, Sealine and Windy were particularly well represented - not often you see so many of the latter in one place. Fleming, Hardy, Aquastar, some gorgeous big boats on the outside of the hammerheads who's makers escape me. Linsen were represented as was Fairline - currently next to a Fairline 68 flybridge. In fact everywhere you looked there was something special.
Unusually I would say more motor boats than sailing yachts which is very rare. You'll always see something of interest whilst walking the pontoon in a marina but Berthon really does tick all the boxes in style.
