The popular socials will again be based at the Sugar Store at Shepards Marina, with the Mermaid Gin Welcome Drinks and a new Moroccan themed supper on Friday evening. Saturday evening will again feature a three-course dinner with live entertainment. The prize-giving will be after the racing on Sunday afternoon.

There is a full programme of races on Saturday and Sunday organised by Cowes Corinthian Yacht Club, with separate classes for Bermudan and gaff rigged yachts.

The regatta is expecting a number of new yachts currently finishing restoration to enter and look forward to seeing many of the Solent's leading classics taking part again this year.
