The Nancy Blackett will be berthed in Warsash on Saturday and Sunday and open to visitors on both days. Her visit coincides with the AGM and International Gathering of the Arthur Ransome Society at the nearby YMCA Fairthorne Manor.
Nancy is scheduled to spend a few days sailing on pre-booked trips from Bank Holiday Monday. However, these are subject to suitable weather conditions, and may be cancelled or postponed at short notice, as the Met Office is currently forecasting the return of heavy rain and strong winds from Sunday.
Anyone who has already pre-booked a trip on Nancy is therefore advised to confirm that their trip will go ahead, and should call Sailing Secretary Judy Taylor on 07939 408430 in advance, as she will be onboard Nancy throughout the period. Weekend visitors may also call for directions to see Nancy.
