Lymington Yacht Haven has installed a new live webcam on the Royal Lymington Yacht Club Starting Platform at the end of the Lymington River, offering berth holders and visiting boaters a real-time view of the western Solent.

In partnership with the Yacht Club, the new webcam streams live via the Lymington Yacht Haven website, offering a 180-degree panorama looking towards Hurst Castle and the western Solent.

The webcam will enable boaters to remotely view the sea state, weather conditions, visibility and traffic before heading out onto the water. 

The Starting Point is a well-known Solent landmark at the entrance to Lymington River.

Rupert Wagstaff, who was appointed operations director of Lymington Yacht Haven earlier this month, says: “We’re really pleased this project is now complete and live for boaters to use. It’s an idea that has been discussed for some time, but until recently we didn’t have the technology to make it feasible.

“As many of our Haven team are keen sailors, this gave us a good grounding in understanding the information sailors want before they head out onto the water.

“With Lymington an enormously popular destination for boaters, and the town being home to year-round racing, we hope berth holders and visitors will be able to make use of this valuable new asset to assess sea state and weather conditions from the comfort of their marina berth.”

The new webcam is now live and available to view via the Lymington Yacht Haven website
