A day at Sea photographing from close quarters the 2026 British Classics race

About this event

TimeLine Events are pleased to announce a new event for 2026: The British Classic Week, the premier classic yacht regatta in the UK organised by the British Classic Yacht Club. The six-race series takes place in the challenging tidal waters of the Solent and we will be following the action on our fast and spacious 30' catamaran. 

Based at Cowes Yacht Haven, the regatta sees all yachts berthed in the same marina, creating a hub of activity.  The friendly, welcoming atmosphere and opportunities to socialise with fellow yacht owners and crew attract elegant classic yachts from around the world.  Classic motor yachts are a welcome part of the week, adding a touch of style to the fleet of sailing yachts.

British Classic Week is now the key classic yacht event of the UK yachting calendar and we look forward to our first event capturing these woderful vessels as they are put through their paces accross the water. 

Tickets to this iconic photo experience are limited to 11 so to avoid disappointment we highly recommend early booking.

Meeting point is at the River Hamble Harbour Masters Office, Shore Rd, Warsash, Southampton SO31 9FR. What three words: ///dilute.billiard.jetted
