Sailing around the Solent with Arthur Ransome’s Nancy Blackett

BySwallows and Amazons

Arthur Ransome’s favourite yacht, Nancy Blackett, and her crew spent an enjoyable week last week cruising in the Solent, and even travelling as far as Poole.

Skipper Clive Fisher kindly posted some photos of the highlights below. To see the original photos click on the relevant Facebook icons [f].

Great sail down the Solent from the River Hamble and now tucked up in Yarmouth. So pleased with my new short ‘Mooring…

Good day on Nancy with Sophie Neville. Not much wind but great company.

After a quiet day in Lymington yesterday (no wind and rain) a cracking sail today to Poole. Close on 6 knots over the water. Now tied up amongst Sunseeker Super Yachts feeling a bit dwarfed!
