The east coast’s leading racing weekend for classic sail and motor yachts is an annual event held at Suffolk Yacht Harbour (SYH) and hosted by Haven Ports Yacht Club. 

Founded in 2002, the regatta welcomes everyone from keen racers to social sailors to compete in the fast, slow and Stella classes. There is also a cruising class for classic motor yachts.  On-the-water action is complemented by camaraderie ashore, including a regatta party and live music.

Welcome to the SYH Classic Regatta

Hosted by Haven Ports Yacht Club, the regatta is based at Suffolk Yacht Harbour (SYH); the largest independent marina on the east coast and a ‘one-stop shop’ for classic yachts.  Located on the River Orwell, SYH has 550 berths, swinging moorings and workshops designed specifically for classic yacht maintenance and restoration. Additional services onsite at SYH include a chandlery, sailmaker and rigging specialists.

2024  Entry

The next SYH Classic Regatta will take place from 14th - 16th June 2024.

I hope you can find all you need from our website and I look forward to meeting you in the club

How it all started

HPYC evolved with Suffolk Yacht Harbour and although it operates independently, the two remain closely related. The marina was the vision and creation of the late Michael Spear, its chairman (and then President of HPYC). A brief account of its history from the beginning in 1967 may be found on the SYH website .

In 1975 SYH acquired the lightship LV87, retired from duty on the Mid-Barrow and Cromer stations, to become the clubhouse for the newly-formed HPYC, inaugurated in February 1973. The lightship has been constantly improved, both by the voluntary efforts of members and the strong support by SYH, to make it the comfortable clubhouse that we now enjoy. with full bar and catering facilities and accommodation for large functions for both members and visiting clubs.

Facilities and amenities

The club is open throughout the year, apart from a brief closure for maintenance in January. Details can be found under the  bar and food opening times .

The club is very well supported in the region, with an active race calendar, a busy and varied social programme, and organised cruises to destinations near and far.

The racing programme extends from early spring to New Year's Day and offers events ranging from the gentle and gentlemanly (under local handicap) to competitive (under IRC), with several club boats each year flying the flag at Cowes or Cork or EAORA and HHC plus further afield.  We have a Squib (keelboat) fleet, over 20 boats now, and a fair amount of family cruisers and offshore racing boats.

Social events are frequent and varied from Fine dining, BBQs, Music evenings and guest speakers to the more formal club events including the annual dinner and dance and of course the occasional party.

There are also a few members who vanish into the blue for a few years and come back a year or two later with several thousand sea miles on the clock and some good tales to tell.

SYH is on the north bank of the Orwell, some three nautical miles upriver from the Port of Felixstowe www.hha.co.uk   If arriving by road head for post code IP10 0LN. The clubhouse is moored within SYH, not hard to miss in its proud red livery!
