Lord Mayor’s Regatta

The Bristol Channel Yacht Club, in collaboration with City and County of Swansea, will be hosting the inaugural Swansea Bay Lord Mayor’s Regatta on 25th and 26th April 2026. The regatta will be open to IRC and YTC rated yachts with racing taking place in the Bay and its environs.

Race documents and entry form will be made available on our Sailing page

We are pleased to announce that a blue plaque has been installed on the front of the Clubhouse in commemoration of local architect Glendinning Moxham, who designed the BCYC and other prestigious buildings around Swansea. An official unveiling ceremony will take place on Friday, 29th August, at 11am. The Club will be open for refreshments and you are very welcome to join us. The idea for the blue plaque was conceived by the Swansea History Society and supported by City and County of Swansea and the BCYC.

The BCYC’s 2025, 150th Anniversary Sailing programme has now come to an end. Thanks to our sponsors, supporters and volunteers, the events were hugely successful and has firmly positioned the BCYC as a key partner in the local sailing collaboration.
