Yachts and sailing clubs across the region can attend the day in Cowes, which is set to include racing, a Spitfire display and live music, on Saturday, August 6.
The event will begin with the option of breakfast, followed by a review of all participating vessels by VIPs from across the region, with racing off Bramble Bank. All boats, from RIBs to sailing and motor vessels, can register to be part of the official programme.
A silver Spitfire air display and prize-giving will be followed by an afternoon of live music and entertainment at a free concert at the Cowes Yacht Haven with a soon to be announced headline act.
Chairman of the organising committee, Jonathan Nainby-Luxmoore, said: ‘The day will bring the boating community together like never before, with potential for 600 vessels or more to attend from clubs around the Solent region. It’s the biggest event the Solent has seen in a long time.’
A committee of sailing organisations, class associations and clubs from across the Solent region is organising the sailing and entertainment planned on the Solent and at Cowes Yacht Haven, following this year’s Cowes Week. All yacht and sailing clubs in the Solent region are being asked to send up to 20 representative vessels to participate in the event.
Yacht and sailing clubs in the Solent region can register their interest in attending by emailing mail@rys.org.uk.
