If you visit Southwold Harbour and walk along the sea shore you are bound to see all manner of boats, big and small. But have you ever seen these exquisite model yachts? They proudly sail on the 50 metre square Model Yacht Pond which lies alongside the car park at Southwold Pier, continuing a tradition begun over 100 years ago. Annual Regattas are held to which spectators are most welcome. The first Regatta for 2013 is on 27 May, with events continuing on selected dates until the end of August. See the website http://www.southwoldmodelyachtregattas.co.uk for details about the Club, the boats and the Regattas. The Blyth Valley Suffolk, from Laxfield to Southwold
