The 17th edition of the Taittinger Royal Solent Yacht Club Regatta was nothing short of memorable, as the event unfolded in Yarmouth, Isle of Wight. Over the weekend, 198 boats went head-to-head, testing their skills against the Western Solent’s capricious waters.
Day one saw both Black and White Groups begin their first race off the Mainland shore, with conditions that some might call challenging, but any seasoned sailor would call invigorating. Strong WSW breezes ranging from 19-23 knots and an uncomfortable deep swell, courtesy of the last hours of the ebbing tide, marked the start line for both groups.
