Regatta to run alongside TheYachtMarket.com Southampton Boat Show

TheYachtMarket.com is creating a new three-day sailing event, which will run at the same time as the TheYachtMarket.com Southampton Boat Show.

The Regatta will run from September 17 to 19 and will feature three Cups:

• The City Cup – pitting teams from cities across the UK against one another for victory on the water
• The Women’s Cup – a day dedicated to all-female crews
• The Property Cup – bringing businesses from the property industry together to race on Southampton Water

Richard W. Roberts, CEO of TheYachtMarket.com, says: “Getting people out onto the water really is a mission close to our hearts at TheYachtMarket.com. We have some of the best waters for racing right on our doorstep here in Southampton and it’s such a shame that so many people haven’t had a chance to get out on it. That’s exactly why we decided to take matters into our own hands and create a brand-new regatta that will let people do just that.”

TheYachtMarket.com Regatta also aims to support worthy causes. A percentage of entry fees will be split between Geoff Holt’s Wetwheels and Sail 4 Cancer.
