Suffolk Yacht Harbour Classic Regatta: 10th - 12th June 2022
The east coast’s leading racing weekend for classic sail and motor yachts is an annual event held at Suffolk Yacht Harbour (SYH) and hosted by Haven Ports Yacht Club.
Now in its 20th year, the regatta welcomes everyone from keen racers to social sailors to compete in the fast, slow and Stella classes. There is also a cruising class for classic motor yachts. On-the-water action is complemented by camaraderie ashore, including a regatta party and live music.
Welcome to the SYH Classic Regatta
Hosted by Haven Ports Yacht Club, the regatta is based at Suffolk Yacht Harbour (SYH); the largest independent marina on the east coast and a ‘one-stop shop’ for classic yachts. Located on the River Orwell, SYH has 550 berths, swinging moorings and workshops designed specifically for classic yacht maintenance and restoration. Additional services onsite at SYH include a chandlery, sailmaker and rigging specialists.
