About the
Suffolk Yacht Harbour Classic Regatta
The east coast’s leading racing weekend for classic yachts is an annual event held at Suffolk Yacht Harbour (SYH) and hosted by Haven Ports Yacht Club.
First held in 2002, the regatta welcomes everyone from keen racers to social sailors to compete in the fast, slow and Stella classes. On-the-water action is complemented by camaraderie ashore, including a regatta party and live music.
