 On 27 April, Beaulieu will be holding its annual Boatjumble – the largest outdoor sale of boating items in Europe. Now in its 37th year, this event remains a key date in the boating calendar, giving enthusiasts an opportunity to snap up some fantastic nautical bargains before the beginning of the sailing season.
Thousands of new and used marine and boating items, spread over 1,000 stands, are on sale at competitive prices, with big name chandleries creating special show offers.
A new feature to this year’s Boatjumble is the Walkabout Auction. This ‘end of show’ chance to buy and sell offers exhibitors an opportunity to sell off surplus items of stock they don’t want to take home with them. For just £2, exhibitors can buy a box to fill with bits (larger items can go alongside), to be auctioned at the end of the afternoon by a guest auctioneer. It’s a simple and easy way of buying or selling those last bits from the show and there are no auction fees to pay. This innovative concept has been tried and tested at Beaulieu’s Spring Autojumble, and has proved to be a very popular addition to the event.

 Organisers of Bart’s Bash announced the sign up of the 400th sailing club, only two months after the first announcement of the event. At a sign up rate that continues to match just short of seven clubs a day worldwide, the world record attempt is on track to easily become the largest sailing event ever on the planet. Messages from some of the biggest names in the sailing world continue to be sent through to the Bart’s Bash organising team. “What a fantastic idea,” said New Zealander Sir Russell Coutts KNZM CBE, five-times America’s Cup winner, Olympic Gold medallist and previous ISAF Rolex World Sailor of the Year.
“It’s for a great cause and I think everyone’s going to have a great time.” As a parting thought, he added: “It’s going to be interesting to see who the winner is!”
The Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club provided a milestone breakthrough at 300 clubs and then, just before the two month mark, Club Nautic Arenal from Mallorca, Spain pushed entries through the 400 club marker.
