Classic 45 ‘Hermione’ Returns to Neyland for Pre-Season Servicing

06/03/2026

‘Hermione’ has now returned to base in Neyland, ahead of the new boating season.
Mike accompanied her owner on the delivery passage from Torquay, with an interim fuel stop in Plymouth before continuing the journey west.
From Plymouth they made excellent progress, completing the leg in around eight and a half hours. The passage included rounding Land’s End and running inside the well-known Longships Lighthouse before continuing into the waters of Milford Haven.
Now safely back at base, she will undergo her scheduled pre-season servicing and preparation before returning to the water in time for our second planned shakedown trip to Ireland.
