The Bristol Channel Yacht Club, in conjunction with City and County of Swansea, will be hosting the Swansea Bay Lord Mayor’s Regatta on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th April 2026.
Following the success of the the Bristol Channel Yacht Club 150th Anniversary sailing programme, Swansea’s Lord Mayor, Cheryl Philpott, is excited to work with the Bristol Channel Yacht Club to reinvigorate “big boat” racing in Swansea Bay, recognising the area’s sporting, cultural and industrial heritage.

Racing will be open to IRC and YTC rated yachts and could be an ideal warm up for May’s Shanghai and Nimrod Cups (9th and 10th May at Portishead, and 23rd and 24th May at Cardiff)
Events will take place in the Event Village of Bristol Channel Yacht Club, Mumbles Yacht Club, Verdis and Pirate Village at Knab Rock.
Expect plenty of pirate fun from 10am - 4pm including:
- Face Painting
- Shanty Band
- Pirate School
- Pirate Disco
- Meet Captain Charlotte Duberry
- Crazy Characters
- RNLU Choir
- Stalls
Enjoy a weekend full of sailing, sea air, music, food, drink, and family fun!
