The Sea Cadet Royalist Regatta, now in its 16th year, sails off Portsmouth on 17 May to raise funds for the charity. Sea Cadets aged 16 -17 are also taking part in this great day of racing Beneteau Oceanis 37’ yachts, supplied by Fairview Sailing.

Eight teams are competing for the Shipwrights’ Trophy, including the Royal Navy. Last year’s winners were Fort Vale Engineering and the event raised over £35,000 for the charity’s work with young people.

The event starts with informal races in the Solent with the main race, organised by Royal Thames Yacht Club, taking place on 17 May. Prizes are awarded at the end of the days racing.
