The Prince Philip’s Cup will take place in the Mermaids off Seaview on Saturday 11th September 2010. It will follow its usual format with three races in the morning followed by another three in the afternoon. The helm will be required to switch after each race so that, provided all races are sailed, each team member will have two races on the tiller.

The trophy for which we race was presented by His Royal Highness back in 1956 and the purpose was to ensure good relations between all clubs who use the Solent. His Royal Highness still takes a keen interest in the event and every year makes comments to us about the Clubs that have taken part and the results.

Teams from all the Solent Yacht Clubs are welcome and encouraged to participate in this great fun event.
