Participants: Open to pupils aged 7 to 18 from primary and secondary schools
Format: One-day regatta with separate class racing for Optimist, Topper, and general handicap fleets, including Laser, Feva, and RS200 classes.
The Brown Cup is a "bring your own boat" event, welcoming all established sailing dinghies with RYA Portsmouth Yardstick handicaps. Schools are encouraged to enter multiple teams of three boats each, competing for the coveted Brown Cup trophy.
