Felixstowe Regatta 2008
Official Sponsor - Haven
Gateway Partnership
Sailing and Racing Programme
(Race Programme subject
to change)
Welcome to the 2008 Felixstowe
Regatta.
The Haven Gateway Partnership have stepped in as sponsors for the 2008
Regatta, for which we are very grateful. This allows us to continue the
year-on-year improvements we make to the event. The Port of Felixstowe
continue to support the Regatta as part of the Haven Gateway Partnership, as
do a vast range of local businesses that are involved in the Partnership.
In addition to the usual prizes on offer, we have introduced specific prizes
for sports boats, and we have the spectacle of two 12-metre yachts taking
part in the event. I for one remember racing against Crusader in the EAORA
series a while ago, and it was a terrific sight watching her cream through
the fleet. We have also reduced the Regatta to two days, but with an
'all-in' race on the Monday. This allows for any design that wishes to
utilise a third day of racing.
We look forward to seeing you.

Chairman of the Regatta Organising Commitee
