The regatta's fleet is split into 15 distinct classes ensuring the Royal Solent Yacht Club's Race Officers and on-the-water volunteers will be fully occupied and with over 1,500 competitors, friends and family expected, it is certain to be a busy and entertaining weekend at the Royal Solent.
Royal Solent Yacht Club Commodore, Anne Kyle stated: "We are delighted to be welcoming so many boats and competitors to our annual regatta and we look forward to some good racing over the weekend, as well as fun on the shore."
