Entries are now open for the Suffolk Yacht Harbour Classic Regatta 2026, returning from Friday 26 to Sunday 28 June 2026 at Suffolk Yacht Harbour, Levington.
Now firmly established as a highlight of the East Coast sailing calendar, the regatta welcomes a broad range of classic sail and motor boats, combining competitive racing with a relaxed social programme ashore.
The weekend will feature an optional race on Friday evening, followed by a three-race series across Saturday and Sunday in the waters of Harwich Harbour, Dovercourt Bay, and the Orwell and Stour estuaries. Separate classes will be run for Deben Cherubs, Stellas, Gaffers, Yachts, and Motor Boats, with the popular Parade of Power returning for motor boat entrants.
Alongside the racing, competitors and guests can enjoy a full social programme hosted at Suffolk Yacht Harbour, reinforcing the friendly and inclusive atmosphere the event is known for.
Eligibility
The regatta is an invitational event. Eligible entries include sailing and motor yachts of pre-1970 design and traditional construction. Sailing yachts should be Bermuda or gaff rigged and built in wood or steel. Modern classic yachts with wooden or steel hulls are also welcome to apply.
