Seafair Haven 2010
On behalf of the organisers of SeaFair Haven 2010, thank you to all who attended and contributed to this year's event. Overall, the festival was a great success with 160 traditional vessels visiting the waterway for 8 days. As always, the weather played its part in the event; generally it was changeable throughout the week with good sailing breezes, sunny spells and patches of rain.
Dale Yacht Club was a popular venue for the larger vessels, with the highlight being an excellent presentation and trip around the islands of Skomer and Skokholm. The Pembrokeshire Adventure Centre was a hit with Sail and Oar, the facilities including launch and recovery, escorting and ferrying were very proficient. The service was so good, many of the crew said they would like to stay longer and one sailor said she would like to book now for 2012! Lawrenny provided a campsite with a spectacular view and it was also sheltered from prevailing winds. The organisers created a great community atmosphere for Sail and Oar and larger vessels; with events organised by different groups, running throughout the week. Neyland was a central organising point for the event, delivering daily updates and hosting some fine music and great food.
