New £4m facilities have been opened at Buckler’s Hard Yacht Harbour by yachtsman Mike Golding OBE.

The upgraded showers and facilities building features heavy oak doors, portholes bearing the Beaulieu River emblem, underfloor heating and luxury fittings. A cosy seating area uses artwork from entrants to the annual Beaulieu River photographic competition.

High Sheriff of Hampshire, keen sailor and interior designer the Hon Mary Montagu-Scott, who oversaw the project alongside her brother Lord Montagu, explained: “This is part of a programme of investments in the Beaulieu River, with a new approach for modern times.

“We have been delighted to open the new facilities for moorings holders and visitors.”

Locally inspired

Inspiration for the décor of the 11 large, luxury rooms was taken from their New Forest surroundings. The building, the latest in a series of investments in the five Gold Anchors-winning harbour, also includes a laundrette and facilities for families and disabled visitors.

Lord Montagu and Ms Montagu-Scott, who is also commodore of the Beaulieu River Sailing Club, joined world champion and global record breaker Mr Golding to welcome mooring holders for the opening.

Mr Golding said: “When we were training round the world race crews, we stopped at all of the marinas in the Solent area and always judged the venue by the quality of the facilities – and these at the Beaulieu River are outstanding.”
