The Jersey Electricity Gorey Regatta – the oldest sailing event in the Channel Islands – will take place over the weekend of 20-21 June this year.
The Gorey Regatta Association are delighted that JE have decided to continue their title sponsorship of the event – established 169 years ago.
“Jersey Electricity’s continued support is greatly appreciated and allows us to once again offer a full programme of sailing and social events,” said GRA Captain Justin Horton.
The 2026 regatta will feature two days of races for dinghies, cruising and racing yachts, sports catamarans and dayboats, culminating in a prizegiving dinner at the Pembroke Hotel. A popular event on the island’s sailing calendar, it attracts entries from St Catherine’s Sailing Club, St Helier Yacht Club and the Royal Channel Islands Yacht Club as well as the host port.
“Gorey Regatta is a vital component of Jersey’s rich maritime heritage,” said Adam Caerlewy-Smith, JE’s Head of Marketing and Communications, “and our support for the event reflects our commitment to celebrating our Island’s unique cultural legacy and fostering a strong sense of community. We are delighted to confirm our support not only for this year’s regatta but also for the 170th anniversary event taking place next year.”
