On Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th August, the Taittinger Royal Solent Yacht Club Regatta will be held in the Western Solent .
After the immense success of the 2008 regatta, Champagne Taittinger have returned as event sponsor with support from the UK investment management company, Brewin Dolphin, and numbers of entries look set to increase above the 113 yachts competing last year.
The fleet will be split into two groups: White Group (6 Metre, International Dragon, Folkboat, XOD and YOD) and Black Group (8 Metre, Sigma 38, IRC Handicap, Swan Classic and Classic Cruisers) with two back-to-back races on Saturday and a single race on Sunday.
The Taittinger Royal Solent Yacht Club Regatta’s busy entertainment schedule includes the Champagne Reception on Friday evening at the RSYC. Supper will be available in the Club on both Friday and Saturday evenings with lunch and the prize-giving on Sunday. In addition to events taking place within the club, the Towers Party takes place on Saturday night after Yarmouth Carnival on premises adjacent to the Royal Solent with a live band, disco and fireworks.
