Bookings have now officially opened for the 21st annual Polypipe regatta!
Our annual yacht race returns to Port Solent in Portsmouth on Thursday September 5th. The aim of this event is to bring together the building, construction and plumbing sectors to take part in some friendly competition and raise money for charity.
A fleet of 49 boats took to the Solent to participate in the 20th annual Polypipe Regatta. The regatta was raising money for Polypipe’s charity partners Help for Heroes and the John Merricks Sailing Trust, with almost £10,000 raised during the course of the event.
Cameron McLellan, MD of Polypipe Building Products, said:
“This event is the perfect chance for our customers and friends to get together and enjoy the festivities. Our 20th anniversary regatta was a tremendous success and raised thousands of pounds for charity. We hope to do just as well this year and raise vital funds for these worthy causes while having some friendly competition on the Solent.”
A choice of yachts is available for guests and the entry fee includes places on a yacht, a skipper, breakfast, afternoon tea, waterproofs and regatta entry.
Last year the crew from Elliots took home the Grand Prize over second placed Squire Patton Boggs and third placed Williams.
The crew from Elliots are presented their prize from Polypipe Building Products Managing Director Cameron McLellan.
Guests are also invited to join Polypipe the night before sailing for a 21st celebrations evening on Wednesday 4th September at the Port House. These celebrations include street food supper, a welcome drink and plenty of entertainment to pass the night away.
