 Royal Yacht Squadron - Bicentennial Regatta (25-31 July)

The J Class were invited to take part in the RYS International Bicentenary Regatta in Cowes. They were  berthed at Ocean Village and racing was from the RYS Line. This will follow on from a J Class Regatta in Falmouth.

GXSA had several boats on-the-water to marvel as these impressive yachts sail around the Solent.

America's Cup World Series at Portsmouth (23 - 26 July)

The foiling AC45 catamarans visited Portsmouth this year in practice for the America's Cup competition which takes place in 2017.

This week marked an unprecedented opportunity to see the world's best monohulls (J-Class) and Catamarans (AC45) on the water at the same time.

GXSA was there to watch, from our "floating hotel" (members' yachts!)
