Overview

Joining the Regatta

Take advantage of our ‘turn-quay’ packages allowing you to simply turn up at the quay and sail. We are experts at organising the boat, branding, race entry, accommodation and all of the details to make your Little Britain experience hassle free and seamless.

Race charter – racing with competitive ‘race ready’ yachts.
Spectator luxury sailing – for sheer indulgence and comfort.
Spectator luxury powerboat – a fantastic viewing platform.
Rib charter – for maximum flexibility and fun.
Social only entries – all the onshore activities and events.

On the water

The programme includes four races across the Friday and Saturday although the schedule may change to suit prevailing conditions. In previous years the pontoon party has always taken place on the Friday.

Race winning or just taking part?

Our standard package is perfect for those looking to take part in this fantastic regatta. If you’re aiming for the winning podium then we are able to utilise our expertise to put together a winning campaign formula, from extra training, to yachts with winning pedigree, and Olympic and America’s Cup Sailors.

Shoreside

The shoreside programme offers excellent networking and socialising opportunities with some professionals entering purely as a ‘social’ entry only. The entertainment ranges from a BBQ and crew party with live music, gala dinner, and various trophy presentations.
