The Big Summer Season

Three iconic events, one unforgettable summer on the water and we’re only half way through the season. From the elegance of British Classic Week to the capacity crowd at the Tattinger Regatta and the spectacle of the Royal Thames Pageant, Matt Sheahan heads to all three to get a taste of three of the hottest season of regattas that the UK’s South Coast has seen for many years. With packed harbours, tight racing, and fleets full of character, this season is bringing the Solent to life. Plus, we take a look at how the British Classics Regatta is so successful in striking the balance between authenticity and the spirit of tradition.
