NEW CHANDLERY AT BUCKLER’S HARD YACHT HARBOUR
A
new chandlery for Beaulieu River customers was officially opened
by Lord Montagu at Buckler’s Hard Yacht Harbour on Friday 31st March. To celebrate its new chandlery
business, family-owned BHG Service held an open weekend for visitors on April 1st-
2nd.Visitors attended tours on board Gipsy Moth IV, which made history 50 years ago when Sir Francis Chichester became the first sailor to single-handedly circumnavigate the globe.
At the open weekend, sea
rescue boats from the RNLI and Hampshire Marine Police. The RNLI will also offer free lifejacket servicing, HM Coastguard available to answer safety questions and Ocean Safety of Southampton will collect and disposed of out-of-date flares which were handed in at the event when purchasing replacements. BHG Service is part of the
award-winning BHG Marine group, which this year marks its 70th anniversary and offers three generations of experience from its new chandlery, a workshop at Buckler’s Hard and showroom at Lymington. Lord Montagu said: “I am delighted that BHG have agreed to take on the running of the chandlery; they have an excellent

track record and I have no doubt the services they provide from the boatyard building will be of great use to our mooring holders and visitors to the river.” Paul Martin, Managing Director of BHG Service, said: “The generations of my family have offered a first-class service to Beaulieu River customers and our 70th anniversary year is a special time to launch our new chandlery.” The new chandlery for Beaulieu River mooring holders and visitors will be open seven days a week selling a good range of rope, hardware, Calor and Camping Gas, provisions, outboards, dinghies and canoes.

Other Beaulieu River Boat Yard services, which are offered all year round, include a 35 tonne hoist for vessels up to 55ft, for lift out, washdown and storage. Buckler’s Hard Yacht Harbour
was recently named as ‘one of the most desired locations’ on ‘one of the most picturesque rivers in the UK’ by the assessor for its top- rating 5 Gold Anchors award. Harbour Master Wendy Stowe was also praised for her management since taking over her role last year. The Beaulieu River is one of
only a few privately-owned rivers in the world and has remained an unspoilt haven, which is rich in wildlife and history in the heart of the New Forest National Park. Four centuries of custodianship by the forebears of Lord Montagu has prevented riverside development and the number of moorings have been carefully controlled.
