For non-sailors Lee is a great place as the sailing area is visible from the shore so you can watch who is going to be happy when they come ashore or if it might be worth buying a large drink for (and one for yourself) if its really bad. The local area has easy access to places of interest like the historical dockyard at Portsmouth and Gun Wharf Quays for retail therapy. Local sites will include the Spitfires flying from Solent Airport (Daedalus) and views of the Isle of Wight.

The Phantom fleet has always been competitive with talent from the super stars down to the real sailors at the blunt end of the fleet so there is always someone of the same ability to sail against with a trophy for first 'classic' and prizes throughout the fleet, if you don't come it'll haunt you forever.
