Little Britain Challenge Cup: Spring One-Day Regatta

As a silver sponsor and official charter partner of the Little Britain Challenge Cup, this year Sunsail is delighted to announce that we will be hosting the LBCC for the second year running on the 14th May, 2021.

If you are considering entering the Little Britain Challenge Cup this year and want to get a feel for what to expect, this 1-day race offers the perfect opportunity to get your sailing skills ready for the main regatta that takes place later on in the year.

This is a great chance to get the whole team together for an exciting day of competitive racing against industry peers in a unique construction industry networking event that’s not to be missed.

 

About the Little Britain Challenge Cup

The Little Britain Challenge Cup, founded in 1988, is one of Europe’s biggest industry regattas and is open to any company in the construction industry.

The event is one of the most enjoyable events on the sailing calendar and continues to grow in popularity, so whether you're returning to the regatta or new to the LBCC, Sunsail can offer a complete package with everything you need. The Little Britain Challenge Cup is recognised as a great socialising, networking and fundraising event for those in the construction industry.

Year after year, the LBCC continues to raise money for sailing charities such as the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust, the Cirdan Sailing Trust and the 1851 Trust, all of whom share the money raised.
