Race to Escape With X-Yachts as 2021 Solent Cup Set to Go Ahead

12th March 2021

X-Yachts is looking forward to more smiling faces afloat at he 2021 Solent Cup in May

X-Yachts has announced that the 2021 Solent Cup will go ahead as planned in May — with top photographer Rick Tomlinson set to be on hand to snap boats and crews in the best light.

But the event at the Royal Southern Yacht Club in Hamble, Northampton on the weekend of 28-30 May will have a more casual feel than usual, says X-Yachts’ Debbie Weldon.

Under the current COVID-19 roadmap for England, from 17 May all privately owned boats can be used by groups of up to six people or two households both inside and outside.

Entry forms are forthcoming, but X-Yachts is already seeking interest from prospective participants — email Debbie Weldon at [email protected] with the subject line ‘X-Yachts Solent Cup 2021’.
