What is the Little Britain Challenge Cup?

The Little Britain Challenge Cup is a sailing regatta for the construction industry. Since the first event in 1988 the Little Britain Challenge Cup has grown from 3 to 250 entries and to include more than 3000 competitors, making it the biggest regatta in the UK after Cowes Week.

LBCC continues to attract more and more new companies to join the regulars that have been taking part in the event since 1988. All available berthing in Cowes Yacht Haven, Shepards Wharf Marina in West Cowes, and Venture Quays in East Cowes, is taken to accommodate the boats, and there's an action-packed social programme to complement the racing.

You can enter online for LBCC 2010 or catch up on all the results and pictures from LBCC 2009 here on the official website. And, if you've never taken part in a Little Britain Challenge Cup before, why not check out our LBCC Newcomers' FAQ section?

Over 21 years, Little Britain has donated well over £1m to sailing charities helping disadvantaged or disabled people experience the world of sailing. The 2009 regatta raised in excess of £100,000 and we’d like say a huge thank you to all our generous donors and sponsors. The money raised in 2009 was distributed among eight charities, including the Ellen MacArthur Trust, the Jubilee Sailing Trust, the Cirdan Sailing Trust and the Skandia team GBR Paralympic Sailing Team.
