The Ancasta Summer Blast 2026
27–28 June 2026 | Lymington Town Sailing Club
Join us and fellow Ancasta yacht owners for a relaxed summer weekend celebrating everything we love about life on the water. Whether you’re a sailor or motorboat enthusiast, our inaugural Ancasta Summer Blast is an opportunity to get out on the water, enjoy your yacht and become part of the wider Ancasta boating community.
Designed as the first in what we hope will become a much-anticipated fixture in the annual social calendar, this informal gathering celebrates the friendships, adventures and shared experiences that make boating so rewarding.
The two-day programme combines fun on- and off-the-water activities, hospitality and fundraising, all set against the stunning backdrop of the Solent and New Forest coastline.
We’ll also be celebrating 40 years of the Beneteau Oceanis range, alongside the unique spirit of a Lagoon Escapade and a Swift Trawler Rendezvous, creating a fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow owners and like-minded boating enthusiasts.
