The second group from our Club went to visit the premises of Discovery Yachts in Marchwood. (See also detail of the visit on 4 December in the 'Photo Gallery' or 'Programme/Completed)). These hand build prestige yachts are a proud British Made enterprise and are undeniably among the best blue-water cruising yachts in the world. Each yacht is built to order and the owners, usually a husband and wife couple, are encourage to visit the site frequently during the one year build and discuss individual refinements.

John Bloomfield led the group of twelve which spent the morning there..John said "We had a great visit today
