Yarmouth Harbour Moorings
All moorings in Yarmouth Harbour for both Friday and Saturday* nights must be booked in advance via the Regatta online booking form on the Royal Solent Yacht Club's website. Please also book your tender or accommodation vessel at the same time.
Please note that boats will be rafted up over the weekend and nanny boats might not be moored alongside their race boats. The mooring fee includes a free Harbour taxi service for any non walk ashore moorings. A number of walk ashore moorings with electric hook up will be available to book online when you enter the Regatta. An extension to 5pm on the Sunday is included to enable sailors to attend the Hog Roast and Prize Giving at the RSYC. Your mooring after racing may be different to the one you vacated in the morning, it also may be a swing mooring outside the harbour.
A number of walk ashore moorings with electric hook-up, and a limited number of finger berths with electric hook-up, will be available to book online when you enter the regatta - please do bear in mind that they sell out very quickly!
*If you wish to book additional nights to Friday and Saturday, please book these extra nights direct with the harbour (tel. 01983 760321) and mention that you are taking part in the RSYC Contessa Regatta.
Boats may take up their moorings from midday on Friday.
Race Management
There will be one Committee Boat start line and one Committee Boat finish line.
