- TBA: A few websites still have this as going ahead in 2018 but the website – Southampton Sailing Week says it will be taking a break this year…
(May 20 will see the finest display of watercraft on display in a generation on Southampton’s very own River Itchen. With watercraft from in and around Southampton’s waters and from across the Solent gathering between Northam and Itchen Bridges before Midday the fleet will head off led out by a Svitzer tug.Large powered watercraft will follow before the keel boats, then dinghies and rowers.
This will be a sight to see whether from a vessel as part of the Parade or spectating from Ocean Village, on top of the Itchen Bridge or from Weston Shore. Other spectator points will be from Woolston – Centenary Quay or from Hamble.
Take Part: Whether you are in a dinghy, rib, powerboat, yacht or indutrial vessel we are keen to showcase Southampton’s watercraft.
Join the mailing list, to be kept up to date on progress, bring along friends and encourage as many other water users out into the waters.
Large, small, sail or power – all are welcome to participate.)
