Comments from Paul Knox-Johnston Sales & Markerting Manager
“The Haven Knox-Johnston crew are delighted to once again be the title sponsor of the 2025 Kip Regatta in May. Supporting the yachting community and helping bring sailors together to do what they love best is a high priority. Being part of the 150th Royal Western Yacht Club’s anniversary celebrations is the icing on the cake! The West coast of is a truly breath-taking place to sail and will provide a spectacular backdrop for a weekend of competitive on water action and not to be missed social events!
As we saw last year, the team at Kip Marina organise a fantastic event and with upwards of 50 boats expected on the water again in 2025 the regatta is not to be missed. We look forward to being involved across the weekend and working with the Kip Marina team to make the regatta one to be remembered.
