Back to Cams Hall

Always a pleasure to come back to Cams Hall, the parkland estate bordering Fareham Creek and Portsmouth Harbour.
There's a spectacular golf course here, but the prime focus is on the magnificent Palladian mansion, now a business centre serving hi-tech offices.
My visit today is for a final planning meeting for the annual Yachtsman and Young Sailor of the Year awards organised by the Yachting Journalists' Association and sponsored by boats.com which is based in the mansion at the centre of the estate.
 boats.com is the largest global search engine in the recreational marine market with more than 250,000 boats for sale from 143 countries, presenting boat listings from brokers, dealers and OEMs on one website localised in nine countries. boats.com is the most prolific online publisher of marine content, providing boat reviews, how-to advice, lifestyle articles and videos; making it the go-to site for any boater researching their boating lifestyle and passion. It provides advertising and content marketing to connect our customers to an audience of highly engaged boat shoppers and enthusiasts.


The Yachting Journalists’ Association (YJA) represents more than 260 specialist marine journalists, photographers, TV and radio presenters across the major sailing and boating regions in the world. It aims to promote greater awareness of all aspects of leisure boating through the professional services offered by its members.
The awards are recognised as the prime yachting accolades in Britain and winners are selected in a secret vote by top yachting journalists from Britain and around the world. The winners will be revealed at a ceremony and gala lunch at Trinity House in London next week.
