Boxing Day 2011 - the Setley Cup races
The Royal Lymington Yacht Club were back to Setley Pond for their annual Boxing Day event this year and once again the pond was thronged with competitors and spectators. A welcome return after 2010 when the pond was frozen and the access road was closed for repair. Home made boats and no radio control! Here are some photographs of the event.

The days are short, the sun was low, and the light was poor for photos. However here is new member Terry Jenkin's Coast Guard cutter and two of my own new acquisitions... thanks to Don Brazier and Ken Dyer for controlling them for me!

A strengthening south to southwest wind powered Nigel James's large, graceful model of an America's Cup 12m design. Reg Radley's Yamaha ocean racer and Alan Bonds fast Fairey cruiser were welcome returns to the pond.

A sunny November Thursday and two new boats on the pond. Greg Reid's RAF Crash Tender and Allan Read's brigantine "Raven ". There are photos and a movie of the maiden voyage of Raven; a round bilged trading vessel sporting a large added keel, she looks as if she will deal with the worst storms the pond can provide!

A calm, dull Thursday weather with some light rain showers. Despite the weather, we have three models all new to the web site. However Livonia is not a new model, she's 130 years old!

At last dry weather! A freshening northerly wind had the yachts scudding across the pond. Nigel James's "Moonshadow" was under reduced sail while his miniscule footy showed that small yachts can cope with wind... except when running!
