Get set for the Royal Southern's North Sails May Regatta

 The Royal Southern Yacht Club will host the North Sails May Regatta 7th to the 8th of May 2022. This will be the first regatta of the Royal Southern Summer Series, consisting of four events from May to September. The regattas are open to entry for non-members and members alike with social events at the Royal Southern's extensive clubhouse on the Hamble River. Over 80 teams are expected for each regatta with hundreds of sailors taking part. Classes already signed up include J/70, SB20, Cape 31, HP30, J/111, and IRC Classes.

"For the first day of the regatta, North Sails experts will be on the water with coaching and drone video at the club after racing," commented Zoe Dupuy, North Sails European Marketing Manager. "North Sails will also support the regatta with a great mix of goodies as prizes: jackets, books, and sail bags, plus North Sails Certified Service will be on site for the weekend

The North Sails May Regatta is the first of the Summer Series, and after two years of disruption due to the pandemic, there is a real buzz at the club. "The Royal Southern Sailing Committee deserve a lot of credit; we have got back to being much more of a sailing club." continued Chris Jones. "In one strange way the pandemic has had a positive impact, in that we have all been forced to race closer to home, and we all want to encourage a continuation of that."
