Cumberland Regatta

The Cumberland Regatta is one of the key RTYC events of the year and a "must attend" event.  It is the principal event in our calendar where members and their guests meet on the water to sail, race and socialise.  Last year 25 Thames yachts combined to form the Cumberland Fleet and over 140 members met for dinner at the Royal Yacht Squadron.  Members attending this event represent the Cumberland Sailing Society and sail as the Cumberland Fleet to mark the anniversary of the club's foundation in 1775.
