The weekend will feature an optional race on Friday evening, followed by a three-race series across Saturday and Sunday in the waters of Harwich Harbour, Dovercourt Bay, and the Orwell and Stour estuaries. Separate classes will be run for Deben Cherubs, Stellas, Gaffers, Yachts, and Motor Boats, with the popular Parade of Power returning for motor boat entrants.

Alongside the racing, competitors and guests can enjoy a full social programme hosted at Suffolk Yacht Harbour, reinforcing the friendly and inclusive atmosphere the event is known for.
