Closing night of the regatta

The Commodore's Dinner

Royal Solent Clubhouse · Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, England

Flags down, blazers on, and the season's last toast on the water

The Commodore requests the pleasure of your company at the closing dinner of the season.

The season ends the way it began: flags snapping over the quay, the fleet at rest, and the clubhouse laid in navy and silver for the Commodore's Dinner: trophies, toasts, and the year's best sailing stories, embellished as tradition requires.
