The Silicon Cup Regatta is a thrilling event that will see you and your team enjoy two days of yacht racing from Port Solent, Portsmouth, the home of UK sailing.

The Silicon Cup takes place on Thursday 27th to Friday 28th May 2021 providing participants with the option of staying on in picturesque Portsmouth for a weekend break.

Update regarding Covid19 >

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, this year’s sailing event was replaced by an
online silent auction held from Monday 5th October to Sunday 11th October.

“Thank you so much for your support of this year’s online auction. It was a tremendous effort all round and kind of everyone who donated an item or experience, bid on any of the fantastic lots, donated money, or helped by raising awareness of the event through contacting friends or posting about the auction on social media.”

Shaun Frohlich
Chairman, Moore Barlow Silicon Cup Regatta
