Europe's largest and oldest regatta, the traditional close of the London Season. The 2026 bicentenary edition (1826–2026, under the North Sails title): some 600–1,000 sailing boats, crews from 40+ countries, the RAF Red Arrows, fireworks, the 1826 stage at Northwood House and a decidedly smart social scene revolving around the Royal Yacht Squadron.
