The 2013 Little Britain Challenge Cup, the biggest European sailing regatta for the property and construction industry, has trimmed its entry prices so that individuals can take part for as little as £55 per day.
Taking place from 12-15 September, crews and companies can now take advantage of a straightforward one-price entry, split into three boat size groups, which will include regatta entry, racing, berthing and wristbands, which give access to all the marina facilities and social events.
The Little Britain Challenge Cup, which is organised by the Royal Yacht Squadron and raises money for nine sailing related charities, will take place in the Solent, offering three days of racing.
As an added attraction this year, all competitors will be able to test their skills by taking on Skandia Team GBR’s Paralympic sailors, some of the regular benefactors from funds raised at Little Britain, who are delighted to be returning to the event after a triumphant 2012 medal winning Games.

Each trail takes around two to three hours to complete, perfect entertainment if friends or family are afloat.

Cardiff will host a stopover in the 13th edition of the Volvo Ocean Race in 2017-18 – a move that will see the world’s premier round-the-world sailing race visit Wales for the first time ever and mark its return to the United Kingdom for the first time in more than a decade.
The Volvo Ocean Race, which began life in Portsmouth as the Whitbread Round the World Race in 1973, moved its headquarters from England to its new home in Alicante, Spain in 2010. The last time the UK had a stopover was in 2005-06 in Portsmouth.
“It is fantastic to be able to announce that the Race will once again stop in UK waters, and a first visit to Cardiff is a very exciting move,” said Race COO Touber.
