Yarmouth Harbour Moorings
All moorings in Yarmouth Harbour for both Friday and Saturday* nights must be booked in advance via the Regatta online booking form on the Royal Solent Yacht Club's website. Please also book your tender or accommodation vessel at the same time.
Walk ashore moorings with electric hook-up will be available to book online when you enter the regatta - please do bear in mind that they sell out very quickly!
Boats may take up their moorings from midday on Friday and an extension to 5pm on Sunday is included to enable sailors to attend the Hog Roast and Prize Giving at the RSYC.
Please note that boats will be rafted up over the weekend and nanny boats might not be moored alongside their race boats.
The mooring fee includes a free Harbour taxi service for any moorings that aren't walk ashore.
Your mooring after racing may be different to the one you vacated in the morning, it also may be a swing mooring outside the harbour.
*If you wish to book additional nights to Friday and Saturday, or fewer nights, please book these direct with the harbour (tel. 01983 760321) and mention that you are taking part in the RSYC Contessa Regatta.
