The Royal Southern Yacht Club has an exciting line up of regattas for 2023, once again providing top class racing and superb shoreside entertainment for Club Members and non-Members alike.

The Royal Southern Summer Series provides outstanding racing for keelboats, one designs, sportsboats and dayboats.

Four weekend-regattas will be run in The Solent in May, June, July, and September. The Royal Southern's purpose-built clubhouse on the banks of the River Hamble will host exceptional social events throughout the series. Passionate corinthian sailors, young and old will be taking part, rubbing shoulders with Olympic, America's Cup and round the world sailors.

Well over 100 boats are expected to compete at the Royal Southern Summer Series. Confirmed classes separated into Black, White, Red and Green Groups include IRC Racing, Performance 40, IRC Cruiser, J/111, HP30, Cape 31, J24, J/70, SB20, RS Elite, XOD, and VPRS. Other classes are welcome to join in the action and shoreside fun.
