Regatta racing on CRUSADE is about being competitive on the race course but it’s also about having beers back on the dock, swapping stories from the day’s racing and enjoying the unique camaraderie and social scene that is such huge a part of yacht racing.

For those who like racing ’round the cans’, CRUSADE is once again available for race charter in 2026.

So if you’re an established sailing team looking to charter the whole boat with just an owner’s rep, or an individual looking for a day’s racing at any of these events, let’s have a chat.

CRUSADE is available to charter at the following regattas.

* The Classic Channel Regatta involves two days of racing off Dartmouth, followed by an overnight race Cross Channel to Guernsey. After a rest day in the Channel Islands there will be a race to Lézardrieux before sailing round to Paimpol the following day. The racing will conclude with a day race round the Île de Bréhat.

** The 2026 bicentenary will be a celebration not just of Cowes Week‘s rich history, but of everything that makes it special today: the world-class regatta racing, the vibrant shoreside atmosphere and the unique sense of tradition mixed with innovation that keeps this regatta at the heart of the sailing calendar. As plans for the Bicentenary gather pace, read on to find out why Cowes Week 2026 promises to be an unmissable week of rivalry and festivity, both afloat and ashore.

And why not combine the racing with a cruise before or after the regatta? The West Country is a simply beautiful sailing ground. It would seem a shame not to make the most if it.
