A Day at the Keyhaven Regatta!

by Mark Jardine 10 Aug 17:23 BST 10 August 2025

Sunday saw the first races of the 2025 Keyhaven Regatta at Keyhaven Yacht Club, a small club at the western end of the Solent in the UK. It also happens to be where I do my sailing from!

I put together a montage of the sailing and surroundings which I hope you enjoy.

Clubs are the life-blood of sailing, and if you're interesting in trying out the sport then go down to visit your local club and see what it's all about. We're a friendly bunch and would be happy to show you around!

A map of sailing clubs can be found here, so you can find the one closest to you.
