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.
