It is with great regret that the Flag Officers and General Committee of the Royal Solent Yacht Club have agreed that the 2020 Taittinger RSYC Regatta must be cancelled. We have taken this difficult decision after much deliberation and consultation with our sponsors and, after a thorough evaluation, believe that this is the right decision for our members, staff, competitors and volunteers. Our regatta is a unique event – it is not all about the racing, it is the weekend as a whole, the entertainment, the gathering in the harbour and general social interaction and therefore very little would be possible under the current Covid-19 restrictions. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support over the last 12 years and to assure you the regatta will be back on the weekend of 16th - 18th July 2021 when we very much look forward to seeing you once again. In the meantime, once current restrictions are eased, albeit with social distancing, we hope you will at least be able to visit the Club this summer. Anne Kyle Commodore
