The Men’s Junior crew (Last year’s J16 Boys) won in 18:50, 7 seconds ahead of Christchurch. Just ahead of them were the Veteran 40s, who won in 18:27. 2010 is the fourth consecutive year that Lymington have won the Veteran 40s at the Southampton Head.

A further 2 Lymington crews entered the second division. The Ladies Junior crew won in 20:50, over a minute and a half ahead of second place BTC. The Novice Men’s crew improved by a further minute and a half over their previous time over the same course in March.
The club is pleased to have 2 new Coxswains this year, Jasmine Mullins and James Barnes, both 11. Jasmine steered a good course with the Junior Ladies to win in her first race. James also steered a good course and won 2 races in March.
The rowing season proper starts on Saturday 8th May with Coalporters regatta.
