The event takes place in Cowes, Isle of Wight, from 12-15 September (Thursday to Sunday). Crews and companies can now take advantage of a straightforward one-price entry, split into three boat size groups, which will include regatta entry, racing, berthing and wristbands. This also gives access to all the marina facilities and social events.
Little Britain committee chairman Tony Poole of Sheppard Robson said: “We are fully aware that a considerable number of our loyal supporters are still battling through the recession, and budgets for team building, client liaison and general company entertaining have been drastically reduced. Many have expressed the wish to make the LBCC a simpler more affordable event, so that more people from the industry can take part. We are hoping this new streamlined great value entry package will put the Little Britain firmly back in our supporters’ budgets.”
As an added attraction this year, all competitors will be able to test their skills by taking on the Paralympic Skandia Team GBR, one of the regular benefactors from funds raised at Little Britain.
The Little Britain Challenge Cup, which is organised by the Royal Yacht Squadron, and raises money for nine sailing related charities, will take place in the Solent, offering three days of racing, under the stewardship of LBCC race director Steve Canadine, UK MD of Ramboll.
