This is where I learnt to sail, and I will add some yachting photos and information for anyone who should be planning a sailing trip to these beautiful waters
This photo is of the Royal Yacht Britannia * alongside at the Naval Dockyard in Portsmouth. she is no longer a Royal Yacht, and is now berthed in Scotland.
Don't forget to look at the Travelogues when you've finished your trip!. Thanks.

I find some of the appallingly low ratings you've received hard to believe. Interesting pages.
Fascinating coverage of the old ships. I mourn their loss, too...as I do with the old homes.
I was in Portsmouth at the time of the last huge naval show a few years ago now. I had forgotten how splendid these ships are .. thank you for reawakening the naval memories
excellent page and travelogues!
Next time check out the Mary Rose... Great pics of the ships there.
Ahoy there sailor! :-)
Great page Geoff, its a long time since I visited here.
Brilliant naval history!
Thanks Geoff !!!
very nice naval overview
Nice ship pictures!
Marvelous page, Sir...regards to Adm Haritio Nelson !!
