Largest ever Little Ships fleet to mark 85th anniversary of Operation Dynamo
Yachting Monthly UK
|June 2025
The largest ever fleet of Dunkirk Little Ships are sailing from Ramsgate to Dunkirk over the May Bank Holiday weekend, 21-26 May, to mark the 85th anniversary of Operation Dynamo, when military, service vessels and many privately owned vessels – the Little Ships – set out to rescue Allied forces surrounded by German troops.
-
The Association of Dunkirk Little Ships (ADLS) are sailing as a fleet with 74 Dunkirk Little Ships taking part, including Llanthony, a 77ft 1934 Camper & Nicholsons motor yacht, while the stationary Medway Queen is planning to visit Ramsgate for its Dunkirk commemorations.
Operation Dynamo marked a significant moment in the course of World War Two, as the Allies narrowly averted disaster after much of their forces were surrounded by German troops and pushed towards the beaches.

ALLURES HORIZON 47
Since 2003 Allures have been building yachts that don't sit neatly in one category or another. Rugged explorer yachts with aluminium hulls, the deck and superstructure are fibreglass and as such allow the boat to feel much less utilitarian than some of its all-metal counterparts. This fourth-generation model seeks to take a fresh look at what a blue-water cruising yachts is.

OVNI 490
Anyone who has followed the last two editions of the Vendée Globe, or even developments in the Class 40 fleet, will know it's now well understood that, if sailors have good protection on watch, they'll perform better as well as be more comfortable. Similar thinking is being applied to cruising yachts, though this can be complicated by a stronger emphasis on aesthetics.

J-BOATS J36
This is an evolution of the popular J/112e, with the deck layout, companionway and cockpit updated. It brings the boat into line with the larger J40 and J45 which have been adapted to have a wider appeal to cruisers as powerful, offshore-capable cruiser-racers.
