Entrants at the regatta have been many and varied with the majority returning each year. Competing teams include; manufacturers, Channel Partners, IT departments and other related suppliers. The majority of the key industry players are represented albeit in a variety of guises. Logos from Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, Symantec, Intel, System Professional, Pillar Data Systems, IBM and Attenda are all to be seen adorning the yachts.

PUTTING SOMETHING BACK

The fundraising element of the event is significant yet not the central focus as we also wish to encourage Industry Networking, Corporate Hospitality and Teambuilding. Historically every penny raised by the various activities; entry fees, gala dinner, Irish raffle etc. is donated towards a small selection of charities. Last year's achievement of £70k was allocated between the Jubilee Sailing Trust, the NSPCC and the Dreams Come True Charity.
