Battle of Britain Regatta

Friday 8^th – Sunday 10^th September

Welcome to this year’s Open Invitation Regatta with racing on 9^th and 10^th September, returning to our established format for all classes IRC, Club Class and XOD’s, with three races scheduled for Saturday and two on Sunday, in addition, we welcome this year, Round 3 of the Folkboat Summer Solent Series.

As is our long-standing practice this regatta is held on the nearest weekend, with tides that work, to the 15^th September, which is seen as the turning point in the air war with the Luftwaffe, it is to commemorate the role the RAF played in that campaign, to recognise the losses for all and the hope it brought for the future, something for us to reflect on in these current times.

The event opens with a beer festival starting lunchtime on Friday 8^th, with Betsy singing 40’s tunes for us while we dine on a 40’s style menu! Saturday will be a hot buffet with live music, Sunday will be a BBQ for all, timed for when the crews return from their second day on the water, leading up to the Prize giving.

A number of other shoreside activities are in planning e.g. ‘various lawn games’  that will be available throughout the weekend – details will be published soon.

For those wishing to enter into the spirit of the event, the optional dress code is Forties Style!
