Yacht numbers boost

Alderney has enjoyed a surge in the number of visiting yachts this year.

The Harbour Office reports that the Island hosted several hundred more yacht nights this season compared to recent years.

For the past few years the number of yacht nights has stood at around 4,000.

'We are up a couple of hundred yacht nights this year,' said Harbour Master Mark Gaudion. 'It's certainly been a better season than the last couple of years. The feedback about facilities and the Island in general has all been positive.' He said the long period of settled, calm weather had helped attract sailors to Alderney.
