Just 2 weeks ago, registration opened for this year’s event – running from Friday 14th July to Sunday 16th July – and already 114 teams have entered the regatta, taking advantage of the event’s substantial, early bird discount which is available until 29th May.
Last year, 190 boats raced in the Western Solent over the weekend of the Taittinger Royal Solent Yacht Club Regatta based in Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight and the successful format for the regatta, combining racing with a busy onshore social schedule, has been further improved for 2023.
On the water, all boats will have a minimum of 2 races on Saturday and a single race on Sunday with classes representing an historic timeline of yachting evolution from X One Design, Yarmouth One Design and IRC Classic Cruisers and IRC Swan, through to modern IRC racing divisions.
While the Royal Solent Yacht Club caters for crews, family members and supporters throughout the day from pre-race breakfast to supper, there is much more on offer: ‘New for Saturday afternoon, live music will be playing at the RSYC,’ says Katie Davies. ‘There’ll also be a pop-up Gin Bar and a Champagne Bar as well as hot snacks available for all crews to refuel after a busy day on the water.
Online entry for the 2023 Taittinger RSYC Regatta at Event Bookings (royalsolent.org) and for any competitor or media enquiries contact the RSYC office on 01983 760256 or at sailing@royalsolent.org.
