Little Britain Challenge Cup 2008 (Construction Sector)

11-14 September 2008

One of Ondeck's fleet of 4 Farr 65 Yachts

The Little Britain Challenge Cup is the largest annual corporate yachting regatta in Europe. It now attracts over 230 entries exclusively within the construction industry and raises an incredible amount of money for Jubilee and Cirdan Sailing Trusts.

The LBCC Regatta is based on a 3 race series in the Central Solent area. One short and one medium length race take place on Friday and one long race on Saturday. The Royal Yacht Squadron organise the racing and set the courses, with starts on Squadron line. All yachts are berthed at Cowes for the regatta.

The Little Britain Challenge Cup is a fun event and although the racing is competitive, professional sailors are limited to one per boat under 40 feet and two per boat over 40 feet and will not be permitted to helm. Companies are welcome to enter in the racing or cruising classes. For those wishing to take it more gently, the cruising division do not use spinnakers, where as the racing class do and the competition can get heated!

Itinerary

The regatta is much about the social as it is the sailing. The itinerary for the 4 days, usually takes the form of; Thursday - Mumm Champagne Reception at RYS & buffet supper, live music at Cowes Yacht Haven Friday – Buffet supper, live music and dancing at Cowes Yacht Haven Saturday – Gala dinner & charity auction followed by live music and dancing in Cowes Yacht Haven Sunday – Prize-giving in the morning at Cowes before everyone heads home.
