28-29 June 2014
The Royal Naval Club and Royal Albert Yacht Club in conjunction with the Victory Class are organising a two day Regatta on Saturday and Sunday 28th/29th June 2014 with racing to be organised by Portsmouth Sailing Club.
This will be in celebration of the fact that 2014 is the 150th Anniversary of the founding of the Royal Albert Yacht Club and the 80th Anniversary of the founding of the Victory Class.
Plans are well advanced to make the Regatta a big success. High tide on the Saturday will be 13:10 and it is proposed that racing will start at mid-day to allow time for boats to get to the racing area which will either be on the Spit or to the East of Southsea pier taking into account the views of the competitors.
The regatta is designed to provide an affordable and enjoyable way for the small keelboat classes, IRC and Club Class Cruisers in the Solent to get together for a weekend of short races. All details can be found at www.portsmouthregatta.org
