Classic Yacht Regattas 2020

It may be hard this year to get out and enjoy the racing, camaraderie and shore-side entertainment that make up these wonderful classic events we love to attend. It’s hard to see how 2 metre social distancing would be possible on board without having half the crew up the rig! I will try and keep the lists up-to-date as new information comes in. Due to the pandemic many events are now cancelled and a few postponed, and those we know about are shown below.

Good luck! Maybe its time to just sail around to that bay you’ve been meaning to anchor in, take a swim and have a jolly with family and close friends.

Stay safe.
