The travel trade networking regatta sailing day takes place on July 9, with 10 yachts competing in five races around the Solent off the coastline of Southern England.
Up for grabs at the 6th Travel Industry Yacht Regatta’ is the coveted ‘McKenzie Cup.’
"Bermuda is thrilled to support UK travel trade partners through such a great event. Sailing experiences increase team spirit, inspire leadership and build trust — those are important elements in the travel industry as well as life," said Victoria Isley, chief sales and marketing officer for the Bermuda Tourism Authority.
To highlight the beautiful waters of Bermuda as home of the 35th America’s Cup is just fantastic."

The Old Naval Dockyard is being transformed into a race village and all-weather entertainment venue, while several hotels are receiving a makeover, such as the $90 million upgrade at the Hamilton Princess Resort and Beach Club.
The first stages of competition leading up to the big event in 2017 begin this summer.
The America’s Cup World Series Racing includes events in Portsmouth, England, on July 23-26 and Bermuda on October 16-18.
