Regatta Days
The regatta days still prove to be as popular as ever, with everyone involved getting the chance to expose the competitive side of their nature in a friendly and relaxed environment. The events take place onboard a fleet of matched 35 - 54 foot cruising or racing yachts, they are very fast, very exciting but also very easy and comfortable to sail. Guests can get as involved as they wish, having the chance to helm the yachts, trim the sails, grind the winches or maybe, and most importantly… just sit back and relax!

- Guests arrive at Royal Southern Yacht Club for continental Breakfast; the skippers are introduced; the plan for the day and safety are covered in a briefing by Marine Events. A regatta brief is given, familiarizing all guests with the basics of how a yacht regatta works. Guests are then split into their teams, (usually by the company hosting the event… due to company politics!!!)
