Showcasing top-level racing, the event attracts some of the world's best Olympic, round the world, America's Cup and solo sailors, who will go head-to-head on open sea, picturesque lakes and restricted canals.
Calendar:
| Dates | Event |

All racing is held close to the land so that spectators watch, hear and interact with the crews, the sport and the competition.
Extreme 40s are crewed by four sailors with an exclusive 'fifth man' spot given over to a VIP or media guest - a unique chance to ride shotgun and see these professional crews in action at close quarters.
