Since its rebirth this once Royal regatta has enjoyed excellent support and is now the largest regatta in the Eastern Solent. With the promise of over 60 entrants and good support from commercial partners the 17 – 18 June event is sure to be both a sporting and financial success.

Chairman Miles Linington announced continued sponsorship from Kemp Sails, Saulet Townsend Solicitors, KB Boat Park, Digital PrintFX ,the Spinnaker Café Old Portsmouth, City Wide Taxis, Langham Brewery, RS Divers, YouBoat and Camber Wines. They will help to ensure excellent prizes and refreshments for the teams entering.

The regatta historically attracted a wide range of entrants and with classes from day boat to IRC and NHC class yachts that tradition continues.  In addition to the larger yachts there are already entries from Tempests, competing in their Southern Championship, Victories and Squibs; others will follow.

The committee has always strongly favoured supporting the introduction of young people to the sport. To that end the official charity is Portsmouth Sail Training Trust, who will provide a number of young competitors with no entry fee.

The Portsmouth Harbour Inter Club Nab Tower Race will also be a regatta start.

Online event entry and payment is available at www.portsmouthregatta.org.
