EVENTS: LITTLE BRITAIN CHALLENGE CUP (CONSTRUCTION SECTOR)

11-14 September 2008

The Little Britain Challenge Cup is the largest industry sailing regatta in Europe and is open to any company from the construction industry. Each year the LBCC raises over £100,000 for charity and always proves to be one of the most enjoyable and competitive regattas in the sailing calendar.

The LBCC is centred around Cowes Yacht Haven with marquees being erected for all the evening entertainment.

Britannia Corporate Events can provide you with a yacht that suits you and your guests requirements whether it be an out and out grand-prix racing yacht to get line honours to a cruising boat to complete the race course in that little bit more comfort.

You can enter in either a cruising class where you do not fly a spinnaker, or a racing class for the more experienced crews. The LBCC is one of the most popular events on the south coast and is nearly always over subscribed just weeks after entries are released, so be sure to book up early.

Britannia Corporate Events will take care of all your requirements and ensure that your race weekend runs as smoothly as possible. Britannia Corporate Events also offers full corporate branding packages for both the yacht and the crew.
